[Venous stent application with a simultaneous cubitofemoral approach].
In 4 patients with superior inflow obstruction caused by stenosis or occlusion of the central veins it was not possible to pass the guide wire from transfemoral. An additional transbrachial access was applied to avoid the stenosis or occlusions. Patency of the veins from transbrachial was achieved in all cases. After pulling the extensively long guide wire through the still horizontal venous lock, successful Wallstent application was performed from transfemoral in all 4 patients. No peri-interventional or post-interventional complications were seen during 2 days follow-up.
