Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2233257e115">Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is a rare condition that
can be manifested with hematuria,
flank pain, pelvic varicosities, or chronic pelvic congestion related to left renal
vein (LRV) compression. Open surgery, specifically LRV transposition, has been the
mainstay of treatment, but in the past few years, LRV stenting has emerged as a less
invasive alternative without sufficient evidence to support it. This study aimed to
assess outcomes of renal vein stenting in the treatment of NCS.
