The upper esophagus drains to the superior vena cava, the midesophagus drains to the azygous veins, and the distal esophagus drains to the portal vein. Portal hypertension leads to dilation of the deep intrinsic veins, eventually displacing more superficial structures and protruding into the ...
CME Objective for This Article: At the end of this activity the reader should be able to: 1) understand relations between inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and other markers of prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure; 2) understand that measurements of right heart function and upstream...
A thorough knowledge of the course and anatomic relations of the inferior vena cava is essential if one is to understand the effect on it of neighboring pathologic conditions.doi:10.1007/978-3-642-67579-9_2Jacques ChermetJean-Michel Bigot...
In the retroperitoneal space the inferior vena cava is situated to the right of the spine. Due to its thin wall and low pressure, and to its close relations with the retroperitoneal anatomic structures, the inferior vena cava is precociously affected by any pathologic process developing in the ...
Background Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and its respiratory change, as determined using echocardiography, are commonly used to assess right atrial pressure (RAP). Despite the widespread use of the IVC approach for RAP assessment, the relations among body surface area (BSA), IVC diameter, ...
