Abstract
Two cases of obstruction of the hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) were presented. In Case 1, the obstruction was due to a calcified thrombus which presumably developed after lower limb trauma 19 mo. 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 were discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
