Duplicated inferior vena cava (D-IVC) is a relatively rare anatomical anomaly. Clinically, these anomalies are incidentally found on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Lack of pre-operative identification of this congenital malformation can lead to incomplete protection against thromboembolism or hemorrhage. We present a case of a 71-year-old male with a duplicated inferior vena cava who underwent insertion of bilateral inferior vena cava filters for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) management.
重复下腔静脉(D-IVC)是一种相对罕见的解剖学异常。临床上,这些异常在计算机断层扫描(CT)或磁共振成像(MRI)检查中偶然发现。术前未识别这种先天性畸形可能导致对血栓栓塞或出血的预防不充分。我们报告一例71岁男性重复下腔静脉患者,其因深静脉血栓形成(DVT)接受双侧下腔静脉滤器植入术。
