Summary: Surgical treatment for advanced leiomyosarcoma in liver transplant patients, such as resection of IVC and multiple organs, can be feasible and safe in highly selected cases. Major surgery should not be ruled out as a treatment option for immunosuppressed liver transplant recipients.

Summary: A 51-year-old female with hypertension and diabetes was found to have a 50x45x62cm tumor behind the retrohepatic segment of the IVC, confirmed to be a paraganglioma through imaging tests. A laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed to remove the tumor and the patient recovered well.

Summary: Reconstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) may not be necessary in patients with retroperitoneal tumors with IVC tumor thrombus (TT) if there is adequate collateral circulation. This study found that mid-term renal function was not significantly affected after en bloc resection of right renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with obstructing IVC TT and left renal vein division.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the removal rate and predictors of filter non-removal in a university hospital setting. The overall removal rate of IVCF was 40.5%, and the adjusted removal rate was 62.9%. Advanced age and cancer presence were the major factors influencing IVCF removal rate.

Summary: IVC compression is common in ADPKD patients over 40 years old, with Mayo Clinic class 1D/E, and in females with liver volume > 2000 ml/m. Complications may include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and symptomatic hypotension.

Summary: The risks of filter complications in pregnancy are comparable to the nonpregnant population, but could lead to fetal or maternal death. Therefore, inferior vena filters should only be considered in pregnant women in limited situations, such as extensive thrombosis with a contraindication for anticoagulants.

Summary: This report investigates the non-operative management of a 52-year-old female driver who suffered a blunt retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury. The patient was found to have IVC disruption with contrast leakage on a computed tomography (CT) scan. The literature on IVC anatomy, traumatic injuries, and management is reviewed, and it is concluded that a stable patient with an isolated blunt traumatic IVC injury can be successfully treated nonoperatively.

Summary: Careful preoperative examination, correct surgical treatment methods, and multidisciplinary collaboration can lead to safe and successful operations in patients with primary tumors of the inferior vena cava, improving the survival rate. In our study, four patients who underwent initial resection of the primary tumors had successful outcomes with no disease-specific deaths, serious complications, or recurrence during follow-up. Retrospective review of cases in this field is necessary for further research and improvement of treatment strategies.

Summary: This article analyzed medical malpractice and product liability lawsuits related to IVC filters using a well-recognized legal research database. It found that most recent lawsuits were filed against manufacturers, with the main litigious filters being the G2 and Greenfield filters. Most cases resulted in rulings for physicians or manufacturers.

Summary: Inferior vena cava (IVC) aneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, with common symptoms of abdominal or back pain and leg swelling. Conservative management is suitable for type I and type IV groups, while more active treatment should be considered for type II and III groups due to the high incidence of vena cava thrombosis and risk of rupture.
