Optimal treatment of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis remains unclear, especially given the contraindications to anticoagulation use and because interventional options remain limited. We present a case of a 62-year-old man with advanced liver cirrhosis who developed IVC thrombosis with symptoms of severe abdominal pain and leg swelling. IVC flow was restored via successful recanalization with a transjugular and common femoral approach after deploying a 22 × 70 mm Wallstent. On follow-up, the patient had a resolution of his symptoms.
