2023年8月8日 · Inferior vena cava filters (IVC filters) are indicated as a treatment to prevent pulmonary embolism in a select group of patients that have venous thromboembolism (VTE) and absolute contraindication to anticoagulation, failure of anticoagulation, complications resulting from anticoagulation or progression of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) despite ...

The infrarenal part of inferior vena cava extends from below the renal veins to the point where the IVC bifurcates into the common iliac veins.

2025年1月2日 · The inferior vena cava (also known as IVC or the posterior vena cava) is a large vein that carries oxygen-depleted blood from the torso and lower body to the right side of the heart. From there the blood is pumped to the lungs to get oxygen before going to the left side of the heart to be pumped back out to the body.

In the present pictorial essay we summarize imaging findings of ten patients with frequent and infrequent IVC anomalies including absence of infrarenal IVC, left IVC, double IVC, interruption of IVC with CA, left retroaortic vein, and accessory continuous hemiazygos vein.

2020年4月9日 · An absent infrarenal inferior vena cava can be congenital, due to the failure of development of the posterior cardinal and supracardinal veins, or acquired, as a result of intrauterine or perinatal inferior vena cava thrombosis. It is an extremely rare anomaly.

2025年1月24日 · Inferior vena cava filter, or just IVC filter, is an endovascular device that is typically placed in the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) to prevent pulmonary embolism in selected patients. This procedure is most often performed by interventional radiologists under fluoroscopic guidance.

The infrarenal IVC is the typical location for filter placement, but there are instances when suprarenal placement should be considered, including IVC thrombus, extrinsic IVC compression, circumaortic renal vein (Figs. 9b and 10a), pregnancy or other pelvic masses, renal or gonadal vein thrombosis, chronic occlusion or intrinsic narrowing of ...

2023年7月24日 · The inferior vena cava (IVC) is a large retroperitoneal vessel formed by the confluence of the right and left common iliac veins. Anatomically this usually occurs at the L5 vertebral level.

2023年10月30日 · It is formed by the union of the common iliac veins at the level of the body of L5. During its course, it receives many veins referred to as tributaries of the inferior vena cava. This article will discuss the anatomy of these tributaries in …

2023年11月3日 · The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein of the human body. It is located at the posterior abdominal wall on the right side of the aorta. The IVC’s function is to carry the venous blood from the lower limbs and abdominopelvic region to the heart.
