Unless one of the doctor is Dr. Zamboni; In the preliminary study he reported problem in the Renal vein in about 5% of the patients.lucky125 wrote:Dr. McGuckin justifies treating the left renal vein because it drains the hemiazygos.

Either the rest of the IRs are undertreating this vein or he is overtreating (and I don't know which it is right.) How big of a vein is it? Is there precedence in the literature for ballooning the renal vein as there is for the iliac and May Thurner?
I agree with what you've said in regards to wild wild west, no standardization, caveat emptor.
Just because one doctor is doing it doesn't mean that he is more right than a doctor who does not.

This means that any IR that doasn't check the renal vein might miss 5% of patients with a problem that could be helped.
