  • Title: Surgery of tumors of the subdiaphragmatic inferior vena cava. Report of two cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Hill JD, Hetzer R.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1978 Jul; 76(1):38-42. PubMed ID: 207934.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of obstruction of the hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) are presented. In Case 1, the obstruction was due to a calcified thrombus which presumably developed after lower limb trauma 19 months previously. Complete surgical correction was achieved with the aid of deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. In Case 2, a right atrial tumor was mimicked by a propagating malignant hepatoma. Palliative removal of the tumor cleared the IVC passage. The etiology of tumors of the IVC and their surgical management are discussed.
