We herein report a case treated with initial thrombus removal and direct venous repair. Because of early occlusion, a 2nd surgery was performed for iliac vein reconstruction using a 14-mm ringed Gore-Tex graft (W. L. Gore & Associates, Newark, DE, USA), and a 4-mm Gore-Tex arteriovenous shunt was created between the femoral artery and the femoral vein to prevent reocclusion. The patient had an uneventful recovery without recurrence. A single-stage procedure including hemostasis, vein replacement, and arteriovenous bypass may be ideal for radical SRIV treatment. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MoriokaKei en-aut-sei=Morioka en-aut-mei=Kei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirotaMasanori en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Masanori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KasaharaShingo en-aut-sei=Kasahara en-aut-mei=Shingo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Showa Medical University Fujigaoka Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein kn-keyword=spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein en-keyword=deep vein thrombosis kn-keyword=deep vein thrombosis en-keyword=arteriovenous shunt kn-keyword=arteriovenous shunt END
