Vena cava filters are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis or PE who either have contraindications to anticoagulation or have sustained a PE despite adequate anticoagulation. Although vena cava filters are not without complications, clinically significant morbidity and mortality are low.

Interesting inferior vena cava
Clinical Anatomy, 1999This 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, 1982AbstractThe 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, 1954TUMORS 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.

Use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters has increased dramatically in recent decades, despite a lack of evidence that their use has impacted venous thromboembolism (VTE)-related mortality. This increased use appears to be primarily driven by the insertion of retrievable filters for prophylactic indications. A growing body of evidence, however, suggests

Idiopathic Dilatation of the Superior Vena Cava (Superior Vena Cava Dilatation)
Pediatrics, 1972A case is reported of an 8-year-old male who presented with mediastinal widening secondary to idiopathic dilatation of the superior vena cava. Roentgen signs of superior vena cava dilatation include a right, anterior, and superior location in the mediastinum, lack of tracheal deviation, and increased size on supine roentgenograms.

Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1992AbstractLeiomyosarcoma 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

Treatment of SVC obstruction with metallic stents is a rewarding procedure. The patients have symptoms that are severe and debilitating and cause significant impairment of life-style. Stent placement rapidly alleviates the symptoms of SVC syndrome and improves the patient's quality of life. The long-term patency rates have not been established; however,

Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Vena Cava
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2006A 68-year-old woman presented for reevaluation of progressively worsening dyspnea over 2 years. Imaging 4 months prior included unremarkable chest CT, pulmonary function tests, and pulmonary angiogram. On reevaluation, transesophageal echocardiogram was performed; a large right atrial mass was discovered. Magnetic resonance imaging and chest CT defined
