We describe a 65-years-old female, with percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PBA) of inferior vena cava. The patient had massive calcification of the right atrium, the tricuspid anulus as well as obstruction of the tricuspid valve (percutaneous tricuspid valvuloplasty was performed 2.5 years before). The only predisposing factor for calcification was, a cerebral-right atrial shunt (cerebral cysticercosis) for 32 years. PBA was performed. We discuss some events that occurred after dilatation. We describe the technique in this uncommon case. We conclude that percutaneous balloon angioplasty is another alternative to surgical repair in inferior vena cava obstruction.
