Renal Cell Carcinoma with IVC Thrombi; Current Concepts.
Although the level of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus governs the type of surgical approach, there is no consistency in reporting the levels of IVC thrombus in the literature. This prospective study illustrates a simple three-level classification based on the need for clamping hepatoduodenal ligament and venovenous or cardiopulmonary bypass.
Imaging of the Inferior Vena Cava with MDCT November 2007, VOLUME 189. it is of paramount importance to define the superior extension of the thrombus. According to the TNM classification of renal cell carcinoma, tumor spread into the infradiaphragmatic portion of the IVC is categorized as a T3c stage tumor, whereas extension into the supradiaphragmatic IVC is classified as T4b. Further.
Thrombosis Classification. There is mainly two classification of thrombosis based according to the site of clot formation and these are: Venous Thrombosis. The blood clot formation is concentrated in the vein and the concern of this type of thrombosis is the development of pulmonary embolism which is life threatening. There are different types of thrombosis classified under venous thrombosis.
IIIb (hepatic): A thrombus extending into the retrohepatic IVC reaching the ostia of the major hepatic veins and may extend into them causing Budd-Chiari syndrome.
IVC filter usually used to prevent pulmonary tumor emboli in high risk patient (Figure 6). IVC filter can be done through femoral approach if IVC is clear of any thrombus. If thrombus is present in IVC, then procedure is done through right jugular venous approach. In this case as huge thrombus burden seen in.
The inferior vena cava (IVC) is an essential but often overlooked structure at abdominal imaging. It is associated with a wide variety of congenital and pathologic processes and can be a source of vital information for referring clinicians. Initial evaluation of the IVC is most likely to occur at computed tomography performed for another.

MDCT of the Inferior Vena Cava AJR:189, November 2007 1245 cancer and Wilms’ tumor in children (10) (Fig. 9). Primary Tumor of the IVC Primary tumors of the IVC are exceed-ingly rare. Leiomyosarcoma of the IVC is a tumor of mesenchymal origin arising from the smooth-muscle cells found in the vessel wall and is associated with a poor prognosis.
Associated anomalies. Little is known about the natural history of a fetal IVC thrombus. Several cases of IVC thrombosis in neonates have been reported in association with renal vein thrombosis 2,9,12-14.In these cases it is unclear whether the thrombus originated in the renal vein and extended to the IVC or if the IVC formed a thrombus first with subsequent occlusion of the renal vein.
Intracardiac thrombus formation in cardiac impairment: the role of anticoagulant therapy GregoryYH-ip Summary The presence of intracardiac thrombus has been associated with many diseases and clinical states, although cardiac impair-ment is commonly also present. Despitethis, therecontinuestobe a lack of consensus on which patients with cardiac.
The risk of cardiac impaction of thrombus during such transdiaphragmatic procedures, especially during the manoeuvres of “milking” the IVC retrogradely, has in fact led to earlier involvement of cardiothoracic surgeons; a thoracic incision preempts the need for intracardiac disimpaction of tumour thrombus. It is noted that the two teams reporting no CPB whatsoever have small total.
March 14, 2016 — Researchers are warning about severe short-term and long-term complications associated with IVC filter thrombosis (blood clots), calling the complication “under-appreciated” and easily misdiagnosed. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are implanted near the heart to capture blood clots before they reach the lungs.
