Dual Inferior Vena Cava: Two Inferior Vena Cava Filters

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
The formation of the venous drainage system of the human body is a complex process involving structures forming and regressing in a predefined order. Interruption of any one of these steps results in the formation of a congenital anomaly. Knowledge of these anomalies can prevent us from potential serious and sometimes fatal complications.

Interesting inferior vena cava

Clinical Anatomy, 1999
This article presents, as diagnostic problems, computed tomographic (CT) images from a patient with unusual cross-sectional anatomy at the thoraco-abdominal region. The introduction and discussion emphasize the solution and explain the underlying clinical condition and resultant radiographic and computed tomographic imaging features.

Inferior vena cava echocardiography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1982
AbstractThe inferior vena cava can be imaged during echocardiography from the subcostal transducer position as an echo‐free space at a depth ranging from 6 to 15 cm from the abdominal wall. The normal inferior vena cava M‐mode echocardiogram has an “a” and “v” pulsation pattern similar to that seen in the jugular venous tracing and exhibits prominent ...

LEIOMYOSARCOMA OF INFERIOR VENA CAVA

Archives of Surgery, 1954
TUMORS of the inferior vena cava are a pathologic curiosity of extreme rarity. In 1950 Roussak and Heppleston, 1 in England, reported a case of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava producing obstruction of the vessel. The tumor was found at autopsy.

Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1992
AbstractLeiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a rare malignancy, and radical resection with negative margins remains the only hope for cure. In this report we cite four cases of this tumor treated at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center with particular emphasis on the use of preoperative chemotherapy. In our patients, preoperative

Ligation of the Inferior Vena Cava

Archives of Surgery, 1965
THE UNDESIRABLE sequelae to inferior vena caval ligation have been studied and reported by several observers * and these sequelae contribute significantly to a general reluctance on the part of physicians to apply this effective technique as broadly as might otherwise be indicated.

Injuries of the inferior vena cava

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2001
Injuries of the IVC, whether caused by blunt or penetrating mechanisms, are usually fatal. Patients who arrive in shock and fail to respond to initial resuscitative measures, those who are still actively bleeding at the time of laparotomy, and those with wounds of the retrohepatic vena cava have a low probability of survival.
