Abstract

Major venous bleeding is a feared complication during abdominal surgery. Management usually consists of open repair or ligation, despite technically demanding surgical exposure. We present two cases of major iliac vein hemorrhage during abdominal surgery that were controlled by using thoracic stent grafts.
