Echocardiographic features suggestive of inferior vena cava stenosis include detection of a focal narrowing and high turbulent flow, peak velocity > 1.5 m/s and S/D wave fusion on spectral Doppler. Keywords: Marfan, IVC, echocardiography, sensorineural, ectopia lentis.

Understand the principles of IVC imaging, the common as well as the rare primary and secondary IVC tumours, differentiate between tumour thrombus and bland thrombus, and recognise IVC lesion mimics and life-threatening pathologies involving the IVC.

Selective angiogram demonstrates marked dilation, elongation, and kinking of the inferior vena cava resulting in severe stenosis at the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the right atrium. Medical therapy was initiated with torsemide and spironolactone.

In the presence Stenotic triscuspid valve The peak velocity, diastolic time-of more than mild tricuspid regurgitation, the derived valve area will be obtained in a modified apical velocity integral, mean gradient, and underestimated.

Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed severe mitral regurgitation from anterior leaflet prolapse, mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation, normal right and left ventricular systolic function, and a severely dilated left atrium measuring.

Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed severe mitral regurgitation from anterior leaflet prolapse, mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation, normal right and left ventricular systolic function, and a severely dilated left atrium measuring 6.5×6.1 cm.

Sep 4, 2006 · 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.

Four patients with interruption and four patients with congenital stenosis of the IVC were symptomatic with DVT (n=4), leg swelling (n=4), leg pain (n=2), lower extremity varices (n=2), hepatic vein thrombosis (n=1), and hematochezia (n=1).

Interrogation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) plays an important role in the performance of critical care echocardiography and provides insight into the systemic hemodynamics of patients with critical illness.

Echocardiography revealed a stenotic inferior vena cava (IVC) with an elevated velocity (2.0 m/s) at the cavoatrial junction (Figures 1B and 1C). The patient’s pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 50 mm Hg.
