Inferior Vena Cava Stent-Graft Sepsis.

We present the case of a patient with a complicated medical history, which included stent grafting as a life-saving measure for an iatrogenic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury. For persistent sepsis secondary to stent-graft infection, the patient underwent extraction of 2 IVC stent grafts, primary repair of a duodenal-caval fistula, and repair of the IVC with an allograft vein patch. Discussion of this case sought to shed light on the intricacies involved in medical decision making in an era of advanced medical technology.
