title: Hepatic vein anchor-wire technique to prevent stent migration during inferior vena cava stenting for Budd-Chiari syndrome.
abstract: Inferior vena cava (IVC) stenting in patients suffering from Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is sometimes complicated by stent migration or misplacement. Here, we describe a novel stent anchoring technique to prevent this complication while using balloon-mounted Palmaz stent for angioplasty of short-segment stenosis in the IVC.
