Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava with bilateral iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) poses increased risk for post-thrombotic syndrome. Absent inferior vena cava (IVC) syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly that can be associated with idiopathic DVT in the young patient. It remains unclear whether endovenous thrombolytic intervention for DVT in patients with absent IVC can be successful, given the impaired venous outflow. This case report describes revascularization of bilateral iliofemoral and femoropopliteal DVT using endovascular pharmacomechanical thrombolysis and thrombectomy in a patient with underlying absent IVC syndrome to prevent post-thrombotic morbidity. (J Vasc Surg Cases 2016;2:193-6.)

Idiopathic Thrombosis of the Inferior Vena Cava and Bilateral Femoral Veins in an Otherwise Healthy Male Soldier
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is less common than deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, particularly in the absence of an obvious congenital caval abnormality or hypercoagulable state. We present a case of IVC thrombosis in an otherwise healthy and active 28-year-old male soldier secondary to dehydration and venous webbing. IVC thrombosis is an uncommon and underrecognized con...
متن کاملCongenital vena cava inferior agenesis
A patient aged 25 years with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in the course of vena cava inferior agenesis is described. This very rare malformation can be connected with chronic venous insufficiency or thrombotic complications. In such cases other congenital abnormalities should be excluded and suspicion of vena cava inferior agenesis should always be taken into consideration in young pati...
متن کاملAcute iliofemoral venous thrombosis in patients with atresia of the inferior vena cava can be treated successfully with catheter-directed thrombolysis.
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness and clinical outcomes of catheter-directed thrombolysis in patients with atresia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2001 to 2009, 11 patients (median age, 32 y) with atresia of the IVC and acute iliofemoral DVT in 13 limbs were admitted for catheter-directed thrombolysis. Through a mu...
متن کاملRare congenital anomaly of the inferior vena cava
Congenital anomaly of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a well described phenomenon [1,2]. These anomalies include complete absence, partial absence or duplication of the IVC [3]. Such anomalies of the IVC are seen more frequently in those with other congenital cardiac anomalies (0.6%–2%) [4]. This congenital condition can be discovered incidentally, or due to symptoms of associated congenital he...
