Purpose To see if retrograde contrast flow into the hepatic, renal and iliac veins as seen on vena cavagram is associated with right heart or pulmonary pathology. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed images and reports for 78 inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement patients from bet...
Abstract No. 66: Retrograde Flow on the Inferior Vena Cavogram: Can It Be Used To Identify Right Heart Pathology?Purpose To see if retrograde contrast flow into the hepatic, renal and iliac veins as seen on vena cavagram is associated with right heart or pulmonary pathology. Materials and ...
Eight of the 5,822 patients (0.14%) did not receive anticoagulant therapy. Of them, five did not start anticoagulation because they died on the same day of PE diagnosis. Three cases underwent inferior vena cava filter placement because of contraindications to anticoagulation. Figure 1 Flow ...

Additional semi quantifi cation of retrograde perfusion was performed by temporal signal intensity curve (SIC) analysis in the hepatic veins close to their drainage into the inferior vena cava. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using the actual European guidelines on the management of valvular heart ...
We investigated the role of electroanatomic mapping for identifying breakthrough sites or "gaps" at the tricuspid annulus and inferior vena cava (IVC)/eustachian ridge isthmus to help RF ablation in patients with recurrent typical flutter. Twelve patients (8 men, 4 women, age 63 +/- 10 years...
Patients were then classified into three groups based on their RV function and presence of systemic venous congestion as assessed by inferior vena cava diameter (IVCD) and hepatic vein (HV) Doppler: normal RV function (TAPSE ≥ 17 mm, FAC ≥ 35% and S' ≥9.5 cm/sec), isolated RV ...
This study aimed to evaluate the utility of right atrial reservoir strain (RASr) assessed by speckle-tracking echocardiography to identify elevated RAP in HF and compare diagnostic performance with estimated RAP employing inferior vena cava size and collapsibility (RAPIVC), in addition to RA area. ...
