Banked Vena Caval Homograft Replacement of the Inferior Vena Cava for Primary Leiomyocsarcoma

چکیده
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare malignant tumor. Herein, we report the case of a 52-year-old male patient who had postprandial abdominal distension and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. The abdominal computed tomography (CT) angiogram showed an IVC mass extending from the infrahepatic to the suprarenal inferior vena cava. The radiologic findings were suggestive of an IVC leiomyosarcoma. Surgical resection and reconstruction with a cryopreserved homograft were performed. The follow-up abdominal CT angiogram revealed the patient to be disease-free 6 months after surgery with patency of the IVC and renal vein.

Abstract: In penetrating abdominal trauma, injury to the inferior vena cava is rare but continues to pose a taxing problem for the trauma surgeon. Despite the improved preoperative care and surgical skills, mortality rates for IVC injuries are still high. The most important factors, which play a significant role in mortality, are presence of shock on admission, the anatomical level of vena cava...

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...
متن کاملPacemaker Lead Induced Inferior Vena Caval Thrombosis Leading to Portal Hypertension
Inferior vena caval thrombosis is an unusual complication of permanent pacemaker implantation. The clinical presentation due to thrombosis depends on the site of thrombus. We have described here a rare case of pacemaker lead associated thrombosis of inferior vena cava, its diagnostic work up and briefly reviewed the existing literature of this uncommon complication.
