Critical Care Clinics, 2011
Anticoagulation has been proven to be effective in preventing and treating deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus. However, many critically ill patients are unable to receive anticoagulation or suffer recurrent venous thromboembolism despite adequate treatment. This article examines the use of vena cava filters in the critically ill.

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.

Superior vena cava syndrome is a common complication of malignancy. The epidemiology, presentation, and diagnostic evaluation of patients presenting with the syndrome are reviewed. Management options including chemotherapy and radiation therapy and the role of endovascular stents are discussed along with the evidence for each of the therapeutic options.

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

Dual Inferior Vena Cava: Two Inferior Vena Cava Filters
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007The 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.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) and requires timely recognition and management. The syndrome is rarely an oncologic emergency in the absence of tracheal compression and airway compromise. Treatment depends on the etiology of the obstructive process.
