Endovascular revascularisation of left brachiocephalic vein with covered balloon-expandable stent

A 36 y.o. female with a right brachial-cephalic upper arm direct hemodialysis access presented with symptoms of central venous hypertension due to severe stenosis at the transition between the right brachiocephalic vein and the SCV. After PTV of the lesion, due to residual stenosis, a balloon-expandable covered stent (BeGraft Peripheral, Bentley) was deployed restoring the lumen. The CT-angiography performed 19 months later confirmed the patency of the stent-graft.
