Incidental detection of inferior vena caval dissection by intraoperative high frequency vascular duplex ultrasonography

Sarinya Puwanant et al. Echocardiography. 2007 Mar.

Abstract

Inferior vena caval (IVC) dissection has been rarely reported. This could be due to less susceptibility of the venous structure to dissect or under recognition of this entity. We first report a case of IVC dissection detected by high frequency surface ultrasonography following tumor thrombectomy of adrenal cortical carcinoma. This report described the value of intraoperative surface echocardiography and reviewed previous literatures with regard to IVC dissection.
