Abstract

Inferior vena cava stenosis developed after an unsuccessful renal transplant in a 3-year-old child. Resulting venous outflow obstruction consequently prevented construction of a functional hemodialysis arteriovenous shunt at the femoral area. Transluminal balloon angioplasty of the stenosis completely eliminated the obstruction and allowed creation of the shunt.
