Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This report describes a new approach for management of iliac vein injury. These injuries are often difficult to expose, and the associated hemorrhage further hinders visualization and subsequent repair. In this case, the use of an endovascular balloon from groin access controlled venous hemorrhage and permitted a primary repair of a torn left iliac vein. We believe that this approach is unique in that it uses a compliant, low-pressure balloon, thus preventing further iatrogenic injury in otherwise fragile venous structures and allowing direct access to the tear when exposure in the operative field is limited.
