A systematic review on management of nutcracker syndrome.

TL;DR: A systematic review of open surgical intervention, specifically LRV transposition, has been considered by some experts the mainstay for treatment of NS and the endovascular approach is gaining strength as more evidence has become available.

Doppler US and CT Diagnosis of Nutcracker Syndrome

TL;DR: With proper Doppler US and CECT, NCS can be diagnosed noninvasively and morphologic changes of theLRV and a jetting phenomenon across the aortomesenteric portion of the LRV on contrast-enhanced computed tomography are diagnostic clues of NCS.

Nutcracker Phenomenon and Nutcracker Syndrome

TL;DR: The nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is the clinical equivalent of Nutcracker phenomenon characterized by a complex of symptoms with substantial variations, and although it may be associated with substantial morbidity, the diagnosis is often difficult and is commonly delayed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current trends in the diagnosis and management of renal nutcracker syndrome: a review.

TL;DR: Nutcracker syndrome is caused by compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery where it passes in the fork formed at the bifurcation of these arteries.

Diagnosis of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Using Transabdominal and Transvaginal Sonography

TL;DR: Sonographic findings of pelvic congestion syndrome were dilated left ovarian vein with reversed caudal flow, presence of varicocele, dilated arcuate veins crossing the uterine myometrium, polycystic changes of the ovary, and variable duplex waveform during the Valsalva's maneuver.

Physical properties of endovascular stents: an experimental comparison.

TL;DR: There is no stent with ideal physical properties, however, depending on the characteristics of the arterial lesion to be treated, the most appropriate stent can be chosen.
