Transatrial Interruption of the Inferior Vena Cava

Archives of Surgery, 1990
Transatrial placement of a Greenfield filter at the time of cardiac surgery was performed on three patients with recent femoral venous thrombosis and unstable angina, and at the time of pulmonary embolectomy on four others. The filter carrier was passed through the right atrial cannulation site under fluoroscopic guidance into the inferior vena cava. A

Chest, 1981
In the usual form of interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC), the post-renal IVC continues as the azygos and hemiazygos vein. We report a patient with complete interruption of the IVC in whom no direct continuity existed between the IVC and the azygos system.

Inferior Vena Cava Interruption

Archives of Surgery, 1975
Propagating illofemoral venous thrombosis that occurs despite adequate anticoagulation can be detected by the serial fibrinogen uptake test. Twenty-three patients who were receiving heparin sodium for confirmed iliofemoral thrombophlebitis underwent the serial fibrinogen uptake test. There was an increasing percentage of isotope uptake at the groin and

Interruption of the inferior vena cava by clip or filter

For patients unable to tolerate general anesthesia and laparotomy, the advantages of transvenous filters rather than clips are obvious. However, for some patients, the use of either clips or filters is possible.
