Traumatic inferior vena caval obstruction.
Abstract
A 57-year-old male sustained an injury to the supradiaphragmatic portion of the inferior vena cava, which presented as progressive lower extremity thrombophlebitis culminating in thrombosis of his inferior vena cava. The indications for operative intervention centered around impaired renal, hepatic, and intestinal circulation. Extracorporeal circulation permitted extraction of the clot and repair of the injury.
