OBJECTIVE: To present the prevalence, clinical, and imaging findings of interruption or congenital stenotic lesions of the inferior vena cava (IVC), associated malformations, and their clinical relevance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the first case, typical double IVC was present (Fig. 9 ). [link.springer.com]

• Atrial Septal Defect

  Mitral stenosis augments the left to right shunt through the atrial septal defect. [structuralheartdisease.org]

  In the majority of cases there is an atrial septal defect (90%). Pulmonary stenosis or atresia occurs in a small percentage and VSD is rarely found. [bcm.edu]

  Unroofing results in a connection between the left atrium and the right atrium—a coronary sinus type of atrial septal defect (see Chapter 15 ). 16 A right-to-left shunt coexists through the left superior vena caval to left atrial connection. 14, 17 An [clinicalgate.com]

  Survival depends on there being an opening in the wall between the atria (atrial septal defect) and usually an opening in the wall between the two ventricles (ventricular septal defect). [heart.org]

• Cyanosis

  Signs and symptoms of severe defects in newborns include Rapid breathing Cyanosis - a bluish tint to the skin, lips, and fingernails Fatigue Poor blood circulation Many congenital heart defects cause few or no signs and symptoms. [icdlist.com]

  In infants with right to left shunt there may be a cyanosis which is accompanied by clubbing in older children. [bcm.edu]

  In some cases, however, it may cause cyanosis (the skin turns blue because of a lack of oxygen) or heart failure. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  There were no cyanosis, no edema with good capillary re ll time at < 3 seconds. Indication of Intervention: The incidence of ASD in patients with mitral stenosis is 0.6-0.7% and the incidence of MS in patients with ASD is 4%. [structuralheartdisease.org]

• Osteoporosis

  However, for patients who need calcium supplementation for osteoporosis or other indications, as recommended by their physicians, calcium/vitamin D supplementations are appropriate. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Hematologic workup also discovered a factor V Leiden mutation, further predisposing the patient to DVT. [dovepress.com]

Workup revealed liver cirrhosis. Imaging revealed prolapse of both transvenous leads into the inferior vena cava (IVC), resulting in complete obstruction at the level of the hepatic veins and large azygous collateralization. [innovationsincrm.com]

All patients with chronic iliocaval obstruction due to thrombus should undergo medical workup for hypercoagulability including antithrombin 3, protein C and S deficiencies, anticardiolipin antibody, lupus anticoagulant, prothrombin, MTHFR, and factor [vasculardiseasemanagement.com]

• Pericardial Effusion

  An emergent TEE revealed normal mitral prosthesis function, hyperdynamic underfilled ventricles, and a small pericardial effusion. [journals.lww.com]

The fulminant or chronic forms with irreversible hepatic damage require definitive treatment, such as orthotopic liver transplantation. [aetna.com]

Overall, mortality is high in the early phase of the disease but once the acute episode is terminated, prognosis is good. [karger.com]

Whether this would have altered the initial management or prognosis is open to debate. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

These also constitute the indications for liver transplantation as they predict poor prognosis. In HVCS these symptoms occur before the development of cirrhosis or during early liver cirrhosis. [tropicalgastro.com]

The worse the patient’s liver function is, the worse their prognosis will be. This dangerous condition can be controlled if patients are compliant with dietary restrictions, and they abstain from alcohol and drugs. [hitachimed.com]

However, more research must be conducted to determine the exact pathophysiological mechanism of action. In those patients found to have an IVC anomaly, clinicians must also evaluate patients for renal hypoplasia or horseshoe kidney. [dovepress.com]
