Inferior Vena Cava Torsion and Stenosis Complicated by Compressive Pericaval Regional Ascites following Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis and torsion are well-described rare complications following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We present a case of inferior vena cava intermittent torsion and stenosis complicated by compressive regional ascites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of post-OLT regional ascites related compressive IVC stenosis reported and the first reported case of torsion complicated by regional ascites compression.

متن کاملVenous-right atrial bypass for superior vena cava thrombosis during orthotopic liver transplantation.
The introduction of veno-venous bypass during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT*) in 1984 avoided venous stagnation and hemodynamic instability during the anhepatic phase (1). In patients with superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis or stenosis, the use of veno-venous bypass with the standard technique should be avoided because it can precipitate the onset of severe SVC syndrome (2). We describ...
