ABSTRACT
Acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis may present with pain and swelling or phlegmasia cerulea dolens. When thrombosis occurs in the setting of an underlying venous obstruction, stent reconstruction should be performed after thrombus clearance to prevent rethrombosis. Stent reconstruction after thrombus clearance is associated with high technical success rates and durable patency. This report describes transient lower extremity arterial insufficiency and neurologic deficit after external iliac vein stent expansion and reconstruction within a confined space resulting from a malignant obstruction. It serves as a cautionary tale that, in rare cases, aggressive venous stenting within a confined space can transfer clinically significant forces to adjacent arteries and nerves.
