Inferior vena cava reconstruction to alleviate back pain.
We present the case of a 38-year-old man with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis via a left femoral loop graft who developed debilitating back pain. During a maintenance fistulogram, we found a completely occluded inferior vena cava and engorged lumbar veins. The patient underwent inferior vena cava reconstruction with stenting, which resulted in complete resolution of the engorged lumbar veins on venography and a significant reduction in his back pain. Engorgement of the lumbar veins can cause significant pain, and treatment of the underlying pathology can alleviate these symptoms.
