Endovascular inferior vena cava (IVC) mass biopsy emerges as a minimally invasive promising technique for the acquisition of tissue samples for histological analysis, crucial for determining the malignant or benign nature of the lesion and guiding subsequent treatment. This report details the first successful off label use of a low-profile 5.2Fr biliary forceps system, via a 7Fr sheath, for endovascular IVC biopsy in a 61-year-old male patient with a history of left nephrectomy due to Gravitz tumour presenting with IVC thrombosis at 5-years follow up, suspicious for recurrence.
血管腔内下腔静脉(IVC)肿物活检作为一种微创且有前景的技术应运而生,用于获取组织样本进行组织学分析,这对于确定病变的恶性或良性性质以及指导后续治疗至关重要。本报告详细介绍了首例成功的非标签使用情况,即通过一个7Fr鞘管,将一种外形小巧的5.2Fr胆道钳系统用于一名61岁男性患者的血管腔内IVC活检。该患者曾因格拉维茨瘤行左肾切除术,5年随访时出现IVC血栓形成,怀疑复发。
