J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2007 Aug;18(8):1042-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jvir.2007.05.017.

Abstract

The present report describes three young adults with nutcracker syndrome caused by left renal vein stenosis managed with nitinol stent implantation. The patients treated included a 20-year-old woman with persistent microhematuria and dyspareunia and two 18-year-old men with proteinuria, hematuria, and flank pain. All three patients were asymptomatic after a follow-up of 14-18 months.
