Left renal vein stenting is a preferable therapeutic option for patients with nutcracker syndrome (NS). As a potential complication of stent implantation, stent migration from the original placement to the right ventricle is relatively rare but can seriously threaten the patient's life. Endovascular stent retrieval is the most beneficial procedure for coping with this fatal complication. In this report, we aimed to describe an effective but relatively feasible endovascular approach using the combination of a goose neck snare and a large bore sheath for the retrieval of a stent dislodged in the right ventricle.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular condition caused by the compression of the left renal vein (LRN), which may result in venous hypertension and clinical symptoms, including hematuria, flank pain, and pelvic congestion. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old woman with recurrent painless macroscopic hematuria, ultimately diagnosed with NCS based on clinical and radiological findings. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a reduced aortomesenteric angle and LRN compression without signs of severe venous hypertension or collateral circulation.
