Abstract:
Objective To explore the treatment of left renal entrapment syndrome. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the treatment of left renal entrapment syndrome. Diagnosis was established with ultrasonography, magnetic resonance angiography ( MRA) and left renal venography. The transposition of the superior mesenteric artery(SMA) was performed in three cases, the transposition of left renal vein( LRV) in two, and the stent implantation of the LRV in 15. Results Ultrasonography showed that the flow velocity of the proximal end of the LRV at horizontal position accelerates remarkably, and the acceleration is more obvious after standing for 15 minutes; The inner diameter ratio of the broadest place to the narrowest of the LRV at horizontal position is 4. 4?1. 6, while it is 8. 1?1.7 after standing for 15 minutes. MRA illustrated the angle between the abdominal aorta and the SMA was (30?5)?, the control was (64?16)?. The average pressure difference between the LRV and the inferior vena cava (IVC) was ( 14?5) mmHg and (2. 9?1. 4) mmHg before and after stent implantation. The surgical and interventional therapy was successful in all 20 cases. Follow-up from 6 months to 6 years revealed that macroscopic hematuria and symptom disappeared in all patients. Conclusion Ultrasonography, MRA and renal venography are decisive for the establishment of final diagnosis of left renal entrapment syndrome. The stent implantation is the choice of therapy because of less invasion.
