ABSTRACT
Iatrogenic injury of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare event with potentially devastating sequelae. Only a handful of case reports are available in the literature describing successful endovascular techniques to manage this complication. We present the case of a patient with injury to the retrohepatic IVC resulting in life-threatening hemorrhage which was controlled with endovascular stent grafts.
