4/4/2019 Treatment of Nutcracker Syndrome Conservative approach • Growing individuals may experience resolution because of an increase in intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal fat -> emphasize weight gain • Some propose conservative management for 24 months in adolescents and 6 months in adults Ananthan K et al.

4/4/2019 Conclusions • Like all compression syndromes, there is an important distinction to be made between permissive anatomy and disease state • Initial conservative management, prolonged in adolescents • The optimal intervention is not entirely clear – *I am not in favor of primary endovascular stenting based on risk of migration, timing of migration, and uncertainty of long-term patency 41 THANK YOU! 42 21
