Robot-assisted laparoscopic extravascular stent for nutcracker syndrome

Igor Sorokin et al. J Robot Surg. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

Minimally invasive treatment options are a safe and feasible alternative for treatment of nutcracker syndrome. Endovascular stenting has shown promising long-term resolution of symptoms but can be complicated by stent migration or thrombosis. Laparoscopic extravascular stent placement has shown promising results with the potential to avoid these complications. We report the first case of extravascular stent placement using the robotic approach for the treatment of nutcracker syndrome.

Keywords: Extravascular stent; Laparoscopy; Nutcracker syndrome; Robot.
