Abstract
A stenosis of the iliac vein secondary to a fluid collection in a panc reas transplant was identified by color Doppler flow sonography. The p ancreatic venous drainage was reversed to the contralateral iliac vein s via venous collaterals. After two unsuccessful angioplasties of the vein stenosis, a Wallstent was positioned above the venous anastomosis , and has remained patent for 8 months. The pancreatic venous drainage became normal after the procedure.
