Nutcracker Syndrome

Intracardiac migration of a left renal vein stent after endovascular treatment of nutcracker-associated pelvic congestion syndrome: a case report.

Left renal vein (LRV) stenting is used in selected patients with symptomatic Nutcracker syndrome (NCS). Stent migration is uncommon but may be serious, particularly in interventions performed primarily for symptom relief. We report intracardiac migration after combined treatment of NCS-associated pe…

Nutcracker syndrome in 2026: a nephrologist-oriented diagnosis and management.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) refers to symptomatic compression of the left renal vein (LRV), most commonly between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery (anterior nutcracker) or, less frequently, between the aorta and vertebral column in the presence of a retro-aortic LRV (posterior nutcracker). Thi…

Ureteroscopy as a diagnostic tool with potential therapeutic impact in nutcracker syndrome-related hematuria: A case report.

Nutcracker Syndrome (NCS) involves entrapment of the left renal vein (LVR), between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Often presenting with hematuria, flank pain. NCS diagnosis remains challenging due to lack of standardized criterion. A 27-year-old female with chronic painless hem…

Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of Pediatric Nutcracker Syndrome: A Case of Nonrenal Presentation.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular compression disorder resulting from entrapment of the left renal vein (LRV), most often between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta. Although it is well described in adults, the condition remains underdiagnosed in children because…

The continuing challenge of Nutcracker syndrome.

Open surgery appears to be the preferred treatment in patients with nutcracker syndrome: A vascular low frequency disease consortium analysis.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular disease, characterized by anatomical compression of the left renal vein (LRV). Associated symptoms include flank and pelvic pain, as well as hematuria and varicocele. Our objective was to examine the contemporary management of NCS including diagnosti…

Chronic daily headache associated with nutcracker syndrome: a case report and narrative review.

Microscopic ligation combined with shunt procedure versus microsurgical varicocelectomy for nutcracker syndrome and left varicocele: a randomized controlled trial.

This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel microsurgical approach (Microsurgical Spermatico-Inferior Epigastric Vein Anastomosis with Selective Venous Disconnection, MSEA-SVD) compared to conventional Microsurgical Varicocelectomy approach in patients with Nutcracker Syndrome and l…
