  • Title: Inferior vena cava filter from left-sided superior vena cava.
    Author: Nair S, Ettles D, Robinson G, Scott P.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008 Jul; 31 Suppl 2():S171-3. PubMed ID: 17882483.
    Abstract:
    We describe the unusual case of a 71-year-old male with a history of deep vein thrombosis and recurrent multiple pulmonary embolism (PE) despite adequate anticoagulation. Computed tomography (CT) and brachiocephalic venography revealed a left-sided superior vena cava. We describe successful placement of an inferior vena cava filter via a left-sided superior vena cava.
