Inferior vena cava filters are placed in selected patients to protect against potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. Generally, filter placement is regarded as a safe procedure although rare complications may arise. Recurrent thromboembolic events are the most common complications associated with inferior vena cava filters; however, there are multiple reports of filter fracture, migration, embol...

Anomalous Pulmonary venous connection is drainage of one or more pulmonary veins outside left atrium. Venous Connection most common on Left side upper vein drains directly into innominate to ultimately drain right Right Partial can be Superior Vena Cava, Atrium, Innominate rarely Inferior Cava.

This report presents the case of a 78-year-old female with hepatic encephalopathy due to an inferior mesenteric venous-inferior vena cava shunt. She developed hepatocellular carcinoma affected by hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis and underwent posterior sectionectomy. Portal vein thrombosis developed and the portal trunk was narrowed after hepatectomy. Portal vein thrombosis resulted in high ...

CHEST, 71: 5, MAY, 1977 a major complication of this procedure, is reported in 10 to 50 percent of the cases.4’5 7 8 Although the indirect method of inferior vena cava interruption using an umbrella filter has resulted in significant reduction of morbidity and mortality, it is not free of complications. Because of the risks associated with different methods of inferior vena cava interruption, t...

Although alveolar echinococcosis (AE) can cause a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity similar to malign neoplasms. A 62-year-old woman admitted to a hospital located in Sivas, Turkey, with the complaints of fatigue and right upper abdominal pain. On contrast abdominal CT, a 54×70×45 mm sized cystic lesion was detected in the left lobe of the liver that was seen to extend to the po...

BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies of the venous system are known but congenital absence of infrarenal inferior vena cava with absent deep venous system of the lower limbs is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an 11-year-old Indian girl who presented with large venous collaterals on her anterior abdominal wall and recurrent non-healing venous ulcers on her left leg with comp...

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder often associated with various complications. Approximately one fourth of patients with acute pancreatitis develop vascular complications, of which venous thrombosis forms a major group. Extrasplanchnic venous thrombosis is less common, and simultaneous renal vein and inferior vena cava thrombosis is reported only twice. We report a case of alcohol-...

(B) Intra-operative view with aberrant artery of the intrapulmonary sequestration (Ar) and venous drainage of the right lower lobe (RLV) directly in the inferior vena cava (IVC) just above the diaphragm. The patient underwent...

Review of the radionuclide cardiac angiograms of 82 patients studied during the past year showed reflux of activity down the inferior vena cava in 7, all ofwhom had clinical evidencefor or clinical conditions associated with tricuspid regurgitation. Analysis of theflow of the radioactive bolus through the cardiac chambers demonstrates that the inferior vena cava fills only after activity enters...
