Left brachiocephalic vein stenosis in hemodialysis patients
“LBCV stenosis and occlusion are mainly due to extrinsic compression rather than prior central venous catheterization. Stent implantation is frequently required after venoplasty to treat LBCV obstructive lesions in patients without prior catheterization” Wan et al (2023).
