Angiocardiographic Measurement of the Cardiac Segment of the Inferior Vena Cava
ثبت نشده
چکیده
MEASUREMENT of the inferior vena eava during life, has not to our knowledge, been previously reported. Review of a large series of intravenous angioeardiograms with reflux filling of the inferior vena eava forms the basis of this paper. In many of the angiocardiograms the diameters of the inferior vena eava and the superior vena eava could also be compared. This report establishes values for the diameter of the inferior vena cava in normal and diseased conditions.

Background: The clinical presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) varies tremendously depending upon the type of lymphoma and the areas of involvement. NHL can rarely present as an abdominal mass compressing the inferior vena cava. The clinical presentation due to obstruction of inferior vena cava has often been called the inferior vena cava syndrome (IVCS). It can present acutely or chronica...

Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes, which leads to increased numbers of circulating platelets. Hemorrhagic and/or thrombotic episodes are frequent, and thrombosis of both veins and arteries may develop. Vessels in unusual sites may be involved, e.g., the hepatic veins, mesenteric veins, and the dig...
متن کاملThe efficacy of inferior vena cava diameters and the jugular vein in assessing fluid resuscitation
Objective: Fluid resuscitation is necessary in almost all critical patients. The central venous pressure (CVP) is a well-established method of assessing resuscitation. Recently, there have been attempts to investigate less invasive methods like the diameters of inferior vena cava (IVC) or the jugular vein. We aimed to investigate this method in our research.Methods: Seventy eight critical...
