Right heart catheterization via hemiazygos-azygos collaterals in the setting of inferior vena cava stenosis [PDF]
Background In cases of inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction, venous collaterals involving the hemiazygos and azygos veins can provide venous return to the right atrium. This can lead to procedural challenges in right heart catheterization (RHC).

On the History of Hepatic Vein Catheterization. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatic vein catheterization (HVC) in man was first performed 80 years ago in the wake of right‐sided heart catheterization. Several new methods, recognitions and concepts followed, especially the indirect Fick‐method for determination of splanchnic blood flow. Five years passed before pressure measurements were performed and routine HVCs were
