The Impact of Aging on the Anatomical Course of the Azygos Vein: A Retrospective, Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azygos vein (AV) is typically described as ascending vertically to the right of the vertebral column before arching anteriorly to drain into the superior vena cava. However, a small number of studies suggest that it is found leftward in older adults.

Clinical outcomes of inferior vena cava filter in complicated pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Background: Previous observational studies suggest that inferior vena cava filter placement in pulmonary embolism patients complicated with congestive heart failure, mechanical ventilation, and shock may have a mortality benefit. We sought to analyze the

Disappearing Inferior Vena Cava in A Pediatric Patient with Down Syndrome and Hereditary Thrombophilia

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2016
Absence of the infrarenal segment of the inferior vena cava is an extremely rare anomaly. The reasons for such a developmental failure are unclear. Most researchers believe that the cause lies in embryonic dysgenesis affecting separate segments or the ...

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Sonographic assessment of the inferior vena cava/aorta index measured with the transducer placed in the anterior median line and right anterior axillary line – a comparison

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2014
The aim of the study was to compare the values of the sonographic inferior vena cava/ aorta index obtained with the transducer placed in the median line and right anterior axillary line. Material and methods: The study enrolled 45 volunteers, including

A Case of Venous Tissue Dissection During Transcatheter MitraClip Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The MitraClip system has been widely used to treat mitral regurgitation. The complications associated with MitraClip surgery typically include clip detachment and mitral valve injury. However, cases of venous tissue dissection during surgery are relatively rare.

Malposition of a Port Catheter in the Azygos Vein: Endovascular Repositioning Using a Long Loop Snare Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Port catheters provide a reliable, long‐term venous access option in children for repeated administration of medications or parenteral nutrition. A cardiac catheterization procedure was performed in a 7‐year‐old girl in whom lateral chest radiography revealed posterior deviation suggestive of azygos vein malposition.

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava

Radiology Case Reports
Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor that originates from the smooth muscle cells of the venous media and is more frequent in females in the V-VI decade of life. Due to scarce and specific symptoms, diagnosis is not simple, and often metastases to the liver, lungs, and/or lymph nodes are already present. A 44-year-old

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.
