Preureteric vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly usually presenting clinically with hydronephrosis and an "S or fishhook" deformity of the ureter at the third or fourth lumbar vertebrae. Unusual presentations do occur and can lead to misdiagnoses. Herein such a case originally diagnosed as a ureteropelvic junction obstruction is presented and the ...

Zur Implantation von Vena-cava-Filtern liegen nur sehr wenige randomisierte Studien vor, die Datenlage fur eine Indikationsempfehlung ist mangelhaft. Wahrend in den USA in Feldstudien zum Teil sehr hohe Implantationsraten berichtet werden – mit regional auserst unterschiedlicher Verteilung – empfiehlt die deutsche Leitlinie groste Zuruckhaltung.

Fulminant pulmonary embolism is one of the major causes of death in the Western World. In most cases, deep leg and pelvic venous thrombosis are the cause. If an anticoagulant/thrombotic therapy is no longer possible or ineffective, a vena cava filter implant may be indicated if an embolism is threatening. Implantation of the filter is a simple and safe
