The inferior vena cava was isolated and then thromboplastin (5 mg kg−1 body weight) was slowly injected intravenously and after 1 min 0.7 cm of isolated vena cava was clamped off using distal and proximal sutures. After 20 min stasis the thrombus formed inside the occluded ...
Inferior vena cavaThe determination of ideal weight in hemodialysis patients remains a common problem. The use of Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging method of assessing the hydric status of hemodialysis patients. LUS combined with Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) ultrasonography can define the fluid ...
