Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava: case report

Venous aneurysms are uncommon. Despite their infrequency, venous aneurysms can present with significant clinical complications such as thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and death. In this report, we present the case of a thrombosed inferior vena cava aneurysm discovered in a 16-year-old male who had deep vein thrombosis of the right lower extremity. Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is uncommon in the pediatric population. Therefore, congenital abnormalities such as an inferior vena cava aneurysm should be considered when evaluating pediatric patients who present with deep vein thrombosis.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of intraluminal inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma: A case report

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare and fatal disease. Imaging is the main diagnostic method. CT and MRI images of IVC leiomyosarcoma have been published, but ultrasonographic features have been scarcely described, especially with contrast-enhancement. We report the case of a patient in whom ultrasonography incidentally revealed a mass in the IVC. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed heterogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase with some irregular non-enhanced areas, and mild clearance in the venous phase. The location and nature of the lesion as shown by ultrasonography were confirmed by CT and MRI.     

Interrupted inferior vena cava and left-sided subrenal inferior vena cava: prenatal diagnosis.

An interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) and a left-sided subrenal (postrenal) IVC with azygos or hemiazygos continuation are very rare anomalies of the IVC. The prenatal sonographic and color Doppler features of these anomalies are reported here.     

人文关怀护理在下腔静脉滤器置入术患者围手术期的应用效果

目的探讨人文关怀护理在下腔静脉滤器置入治疗下肢深静脉血栓形成中的应用效果。方法随机将36例腔静脉滤器置入联合导管直接溶栓患者分为对照组和实验组,对照组采用常规护理,实验组在此基础上采用人文关怀护理,对两组患者采用Zung焦虑自评量表（SAS）和抑郁自评量表（SDS）、《住院患者对护士工作满意度调查表》、《患者遵医行为调查表》以及两组患者治疗效果进行调查与评价,总体衡量患者围手术期的心理状态、患者满意度、患者遵医行为和治疗效果。结果实验组经人文关怀护理干预后焦虑、抑郁、遵医行为、住院患者满意度、治疗效果等指标均明显优于对照组,差异有统计学意义（均P〈0．05）。结论通过对患者进行人文关怀护理,可以降低患者焦虑紧张情绪,提高满意度及遵医行为,建立和谐的护患关系,帮助患者掌握健康知识,促进其早日康复。     

原发性下腔静脉平滑肌肉瘤1例

患者女,55岁,间歇性右上腹疼半年。体检腹软,未触及包块。实验室检查未见异常。超声诊断:下腔静脉实性占位。CT检查:肝门至肾门水平下腔静脉走行区见一不规则形软组织密度肿块,边缘略呈分叶状,大小约9.0cm×4.5cm×4.5cm(图1),增强扫描呈不均匀强化,下腔静脉管腔增粗,胰头受压移位(图2)。CT诊断:下腔静脉占位性病变,平滑肌肉瘤可能性大。MR下腔静脉及门静脉成像:下腔静脉平肾门至第二肝门水平明显扩张,最宽处直径约4.5cm,其内见大小约9.0cm×4.5cm×4.5cm略长T2信号,增强扫描呈不均匀异常强化,门静脉主干及其分支未见异常(图3)。MR诊断:…     

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava: case report

The patient was a 63-year-old woman with a chief complaint of blood-stained sputum. A tumor of the inferior vena cava was found on chest computed tomography (CT) and identified as a primary tumor based on multidetector CT and contrast-enhanced MR angiography. An intrapelvic tumor was also discovered. On autopsy, the two tumors were diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma and ovarian fibroma, respectively.     

CT血管造影诊断下腔静脉中断1例

患者女,61岁.临床无明显不适主诉,体检发现胸腹壁有浅表静脉曲张,肝脾肋下可及.心率、血压在正常范围.实验室检查肝功能属正常.     

A case of prenatally detected left isomerism and hemiazygos continuation of inferior vena cava

Heterotaxy syndromes are defined as the disorders that involve abnormal arrangement of viscera. We present a case of prenatally diagnosed left isomerism in a 30‐year‐old primigravida woman referred to our hospital for complex cardiac abnormality. Sonographic findings included heart block, unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect, interruption of the inferior vena cava with hemiazygos continuation, double superior vena cava, a right‐sided stomach, and biliary atresia. The hemiazygos vein drained into the right atrium by the persistent left superior vena cava. This type of inferior vena cava interruption and continuation is rarely reported in prenatally detected cases of left isomerism. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Renal AML with inferior vena cava thrombus treated by workbench surgery and autotransplantation

Renal angiomyolipoma may sometimes require surgical intervention. In this paper, we present a case of renal angiomyolipoma which infiltrated the sinus and extended into the inferior vena cava. He was successfully treated with a combined approach of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, extracorporeal workbench tumor resection, and autotransplantation. Three months postoperatively, no evidence of tumor recurrence or presence of thrombus in the inferior vena cava was noted. Our experience represents the successful application of a combined nephron-sparing approach in the management of angiomyolipoma with extension into a major blood vessel.     

Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava in a patient with spinal cord injury

Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava developed in a 25-year-old man with quadriplegia. The condition occurred six years after his cervical spinal cord injury. The patient had no previous history of thromboembolic disease. Clinical features of inferior vena cava thrombosis were massive bilateral lower extremity edema and dilated superficial abdominal veins. Based on the literature and outcome in this patient, anticoagulants provide the most effective long-term treatment.
