Correct: C — stent migration. Stenting the left renal vein in nutcracker syndrome is complicated by migration of the stent into the cava or the right atrium, because the vein is compressed between two moving structures and offers poor radial fixation; this is why open transposition of the renal vein is preferred, particularly in young patients. Retroperitoneal haematoma, hydronephrosis and arteriovenous fistula (options A, B and D) are not the characteristic complications.
