Repair of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in the presence of a left-sided inferior vena cava

Journal of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

Venous anomalies are not infrequently encountered during aortoiliac reconstruction, because of the complexity of development of the venous system. Retroaortic left renal veins, duplicate inferior vena cava (IVC), and left-sided IVC are occasionally found. Left-sided IVC has been reported with infrarenal aortic aneurysms. We report successful repair of a thoracoabdominal aneurysm in a patient with a left-sided IVC. The embryology and intraoperative management are discussed.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
