Abstract

Nutcracker syndrome is rare, results most commonly from the compression of the left renal vein between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery, although other variants exist, that is usually lately diagnosed when other causes have been ruled out. The disease was diagnosed based on Doppler ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography. Treatment can vary, depending on patient characteristics and the severity of the symtoms. Endovascular intervention is a minimally invasive method with very good results. This presented report based on two cases with Nutcracker syndrome and succesfully treated by endovascular intervention with left renal vein stenting at Cardiovascular and Thoracic center of Viet Duc University Hospital.
