INTRODUCTION The correlation of central venous pressure (CVP) with inferior vena cava (IVC) sonographic diameter has been reported in several studies. However, few studies have attempted to find the best anatomic location of measurement. Therefore, the purpose of this study was determining the best anatomic location to find precise correlation between CVP and IVC diameter using transesophageal ...

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are indicated in patients with venous thromboembolic disease in whom standard anticoagulation therapy is contraindicated or ineffective. A 32-year-old female presented to our hospital with chest pain 5 years after IVC filter placement. Imaging revealed sequential fracturing and embolization of two of the IVC filter arms to the pulmonary arteries. IVC filter frac...

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of critically sick patients depend on an accurate evaluation intravascular volume status. An intrusive tool utilized for this is central venous pressure (CVP). Aim the study: In present investigation, status severely ill was evaluated using noninvasive Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) diameter Collapsibility Index (CI) measurements in ICU its link with CVP. Metho...

A 50 year-old man with no significant medical history was admitted for dyspnea and left femoral swelling. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and a thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The thrombus extended from the proximal IVC to the left popliteal vein. Therefore, we decided that an IVC filter insertion was difficult to indicate. Urgent IVC and...

The present study investigated the effect ofL-carnitine supplementation during different pre-implantation stages on bovine embryo development rate and quality. Good morphologically cumulus-oocyte complexes (n=2126) recovered from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured, fertilized in vitro and presumed zygotes were further cultured in vitro (IVC) in CR1-aa media till day 8. For the setup of the stu...

The development of the inferior vena cava (IVC) includes contributions from diverse embryonic venous precursors and involves major cross connections and left-to rightshunting. This complex process is vulnerable to errors. However, congenital malformations of the IVC are reported to be rare. Most of these malformations are accidental findings in chest and abdomen imaging. Anomalies of the IVC ar...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of patient's dry weight remains challenging in chronic hemodialysis (HD) especially in children. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) measurement was reported useful to assess fluid overload both in adults and children. METHODS We performed a monocentric prospective study to evaluate the relation between predialytic IVC diameter measurements and hydration status evaluated by physici...

In the embryonic heart, the primitive atrium is considered to receive the bilateral sinus horns including the upper terminal of the inferior vena cava (IVC). To reveal topographical anatomy of the embryonic venous pole of the heart, we examined horizontal serial paraffin sections of 15 human embryos with crown-rump length 9-31 mm, corresponding to a gestational age of 6-7 weeks or Carnegie stag...
