Abstract
An attempt to treat symptomatic stenosis of the inferior vena cava in a patient with metastatic liver disease was complicated by migration of a Wallstent into the right atrium. Effective palliation was achieved by insertion of a second stent, which was anchored by transhepatic insertion of a T-fastener into the intracaval stent. This anchoring maneuver was performed safely under sonographic and fluoroscopic guidance.
