The indication of these procedures and the methods of lymph node dissection, bronchoplasty and pulmonary artery reconstruction, and superior vena cava reconstruction have been discussed.
Conclusion We believe that LDLT combined with posthepatic IVC reconstruction using cryopreserved vena cava graft is considered to be a sound modality for IVC obstructed BCS.
Among them locally advanced lung cancer in 6 cases,malignant thymoma in 3,seminoma in 1,Hodgkin lymphoma in 1,metastatic squama cancer in and angusty of superior vena cava in 1.
Figure 9. Case 7. Additional vessel (purple) behind the 4-chamber view next to the aorta (red). This vessel represents an azygous or hemizygous continuation of an interrupted inferior vena cava.
This is a good way to think about the superior vena cava, because its job is to drain (or return) deoxygenated blood straight down into the right atrium.
These peritubular capillaries then reunite to become the cortical radiate veins, then the arcuate veins, then interlobar veins and finally into the left and right renal veins which connect to the inferior vena cava.
As the inferior vena cava passes through both abdominal and thoracic cavities, an increase in abdominal pressure together with a decrease in thoracic pressure squeeze the blood upward- toward the heart.
