Occlusion of inferior vena cava--features by radionuclide venography.
Six adults with inferior vena caval obstruction are presented. Three were the results of surgical intervention, two were secondary to large thrombi, and one was due to pressure from a large renal-cell carcinoma and adjacent nodes. All underwent a modified approach of radionuclide venography, using a moderately large volume of sodium pertechnetate. Features characteristic of inferior vena caval ...
متن کاملMDCT venography in the evaluation of inferior vena cava in Budd-Chiari syndrome: a road less travelled.
OBJECTIVE To assess the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) venography in the evaluation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), its accuracy as compared to digital subtraction venography (DSV) and the potential of this technique to replace venography for the definitive diagnosis of BCS. METHODS Twenty-five suspected cases of BCS were prospectively enrolled...
متن کاملTemporary vena cava filter placement for pulmonary embolism.
Current clinical trials are under way to determine the safety and efficacy of temporary inferior vena cava filters for use in patients who need but have contraindications to anticoagulation medications for a short time (<10 days). To date, no data on these types of filters have been published. The authors describe a 20-year-old male trauma patient in whom a pulmonary embolism developed early in...
متن کاملVena cava thrombosis after vena cava filter placement: Incidence and risk factors
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the clinical safety and efficacy of vena cava filter (VCF) placement, with particular emphasis on the incidence and risk factors of inferior vena cava thrombosis (VCT) after VCF placement. METHODS Clinical data of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), with or without placement of VCF, were analyzed in a retrospective single-center aud...
متن کاملProphylactic Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement Does Not Result in a Survival Benefit for Trauma Patients.
OBJECTIVE Trauma patients are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolic (VTE) events. We examined the relationship between prophylactic inferior vena cava (IVC) filter use, mortality, and VTE. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The prevalence of prophylactic placement of IVC filters has increased among trauma patients. However, there exists little data on the overall efficacy of prophylact...
