Transposition of the left renal vein for treatment of the nutcracker phenomenon: long-term follow-up

2002

Abstract Objectives To assess the therapeutic value of left renal vein transposition for treatment of the nutcracker phenomenon in long-term follow-up. Methods Eight patients (4 women and 4 men) between 23 and 58 years old (mean 39.1) underwent transposition of the left renal vein for treatment of the nutcracker phenomenon associated with recurrent gross hematuria and flank pain. The postoperative follow-up was 41 to 136 months (mean 66.4). Results No perioperative complications were encountered. The postoperative complications comprised deep vein thrombosis (n = 1), retroperitoneal hematoma necessitating surgical revision (n = 1), and paralytic ileus that resolved with conservative managem…

Retroaortic left renal vein joining the left common iliac vein

2000

Retroaortic left renal vein joining the left common iliac vein is a rare congenital anomaly in the development of the inferior vena cava. To our knowledge, only one case has been reported in the literature; however, its imaging features have never been described. A 27-year-old male presented with a 1-year history of recurrent right flank pain, dysuria, hematuria, and fever (39 degrees C). Computed tomography and MR venography showed a retroaortic left renal vein joining the left common iliac vein. We present the CT and MR venography findings and discuss their feasibility in showing this congenital anomaly.

“Preemptive” Live Donor Liver Transplantation for Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Case Report

2008

Fibrolamellar (FL) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a distinctive form of primary HCC that occurs principally in children and young adults. Although liver transplantation is not contraindicated for FL-HCC, noncirrhotic patients with large HCC tumors (including FL-HCCs) are not prioritized. Although hepatic resection is considered to be the primary treatment for FL-HCC, living donor liver transplantation is evolving into a potentially better alternative. Herein we have reported successful "preemptive" living donor liver transplantation for presumed recurrence of FL-HCC after an extended right hepatectomy with resection and synthetic graft replacement of the inferior vena cava.

Vena cava resection and bypass for recurrent cervical cancer

2021

A 42-year-old woman was diagnosed with a second para-aortic cervical cancer. The patient had undergone a radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy for FIGO stage IB1 squamous cervical cancer 3 years prior to current presentation. No adjuvant treatment was performed after the primary surgery

Laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy in left-sided inferior vena cava

2020

Transposition of the inferior vena cava (IVC), also known as left-sided IVC (LS-IVC), is a rare congenital variant which results from regression of the right supracardinal vein and persistence of the left supracardinal vein in embryonic development.[1 2][1] LS-IVC occurs in 0.2–0.5% of the general

Retroaortic left renal vein: a report of six cases

1992

Six cases of retroaortic left renal vein have been studied, two in corpses and four by means of Computed Tomography. Any previous pathology has been rejected. The total number of dissected specimens was 116, whereas the patients with non-pathological retroperitoneum studied by CT numbered 170. In our six cases, the left renal vein formed a single trunk of considerable size, retroaortic position and directed obliquely towards the inferior vena cava.

Portal vein thrombosis and Budd-Chiari syndrome as onset of polycythemia vera

2013

Budd-Chiari syndrome may be defined as a heterogeneous group of vascular disorders characterized by obstruction of hepatic venous return to the level of hepatic venules, supra-hepatic veins, inferior vena cava or right atrium. The main cause of this syndrome is represented by myeloproliferative diseases and, in particular, by polycythemia vera. The latter may cause multiple splanchnic thrombosis, including portal vein thrombosis, particularly important for its clinical outcomes (ascites, collateral vessels genesis, etc.). We report 2 cases of a Budd-Chiari syndrome induced by polycythemia vera characterized by an abnormal clinical onset, both as regards subjects’ age (29 and 39 years old, r…

Budd-Chiari Syndrome: Spectrum of Imaging Findings

2007

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to illustrate the imaging findings of Budd-Chiari syndrome, including CT, MRI, sonographic, and angiographic findings. CONCLUSION: The key imaging findings in Budd-Chiari syndrome are occlusion of the hepatic veins, inferior vena cava, or both; caudate lobe enlargement; inhomogeneous liver enhancement; and the presence of intrahepatic collateral vessels and hypervascular nodules. Awareness of these findings is important for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Cirugía de tumores retroperitoneales con afectación de vena cava: revisión de 18 casos

2018

Resumen Introducción El tumor retroperitoneal con extensión a la vena cava inferior (VCI) más frecuente es el carcinoma de células renales. Tiene una supervivencia a 5 años de hasta un 32% cuando se realiza nefrectomía radical y trombectomía. El tratamiento quirúrgico es complejo y puede necesitar el soporte de circulación extracorpórea y parada circulatoria e hipotermia. Métodos Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, mediante análisis de datos de pacientes intervenidos de tumores con invasión de la VCI entre 1992 y 2015. Se recogieron datos demográficos, tumorales, de técnica quirúrgica, intraoperatorios, posquirúrgicos y de mortalidad. Las variables cuantitativas se presentan como media±desv…
