Symplastic Leiomyoma in the Suprarenal Inferior Vena Cava

Simplified Technique for Excision of Metastasizing Leiomyoma of Suprahepatic Inferior Vena Cava with Intracardiac Extension

Uterine leiomyoma may metastasize via intravascular to the right heart cavities several years after hysterectomy. The symptoms are usually produced by compression of the tissues beside. We describe a simplified technique for excision of a benign metastasizing leiomyoma of suprahepatic segment of inferior vena cava with intracardiac extension.

Adrenal venous sampling in a patient with left inferior vena cava

Adrenal venous sampling (AVS), although difficult, is recommended for patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) to diagnose the subtype. Recognizing anatomical variation is key to a successful AVS. We report on a patient with PA and left inferior vena cava (IVC) whose left adrenal vein drained directly into the IVC.

Aspiration Thrombectomy in a Patient with Suprarenal Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis

DVT has rarely been observed in the inferior vena cava (IVC). Pulmonary embolism (PE), which can be life-threatening, often occurred in patients with IVC thrombosis. Therefore, an IVC filter is frequently used in those patients for the prevention of PE. A case of successful endovascular treatment of an IVC thrombus in a patient with relative contraindications to implantation of an IVC filter is...

Retro-aortic left renal vein with left suprarenal vein draining into inferior vena cava

Introduction Variant patterns of arteries and veins are seen more frequently in abdomen than in any other part of the body. A knowledge of different types of variations depicted by renal and suprarenal veins is extremely important in exploration and treatment of renal trauma, renal transplantation, renovascular aneurysm and conservative or radical renal surgery [1–3]. The different patterns of ...
