“…Tanka [22] reported 2 cases (1 case each of male and female) of DIVC in Albania while CT imaging of the abdominal region. More recently, Kumar et al [11] reported an incidental finding of DIVC in an Indian female patient on CT abdominal angiography. Furthermore, Polguj et al [16] detected a case of DIVC by CT examination in a male patient with endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm.…”

“…Similarly, harvesting a kidney from a living donor with DIVC may create a challenge due to the renal vein length available for reconstruction techniques [ 11 ]. Kumar et al [ 18 ] reported the accidental finding of DIVC during a pacemaker implantation and described the difficulty created by the angles of the left and right IVCs, along with the decreasing caliber of the IVC. Furthermore, there have been suggestions that DIVCs require the implantation of more than 1 IVC filter for thrombi interruption [ 19 ].…”

“…Furthermore, there have been suggestions that DIVCs require the implantation of more than 1 IVC filter for thrombi interruption [ 19 ]. Interestingly, the association between DIVC and venous thromboembolism has been reported in several case reports, highlighting a possible increased incidence of thrombosis formation [ 18 ].…”

Blunt Abdominal Trauma Leading to an Incidental Finding of Duplicate Inferior Vena Cava (DIVC): A Case Report and Literature Review

Patient: Male, 36-year-old Final Diagnosis: Double inferior vena cava Symptoms: Asymptomatic Medication:— Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Genetics • Radiology • Surgery Objective: Congenital defects/diseases Background: With a prevalence of about 2% to 3%, duplication is the most common anomaly associated with the inferior vena cava (IVC). In general, systemic venous anomalies are being more frequently diagnosed in asymptomatic patients. We report the case of a young man with an incidental finding of an asymptomatic duplicated IVC, along with a literature review. Case Report: A 36-year-old man was brought to our Emergency Department (ED) following a high-speed motor vehicle collision (MVC), reporting right flank and hip pain. Upon examination, the “seatbelt sign” was noticed, along with abrasions over his right side. He sustained a small-bowel mesenteric injury, for which he was admitted and was treated conservatively. A CT scan incidentally revealed a duplicate IVC (DIVC). He later underwent a laparotomy with limited right hemi-colectomy and was discharged home in good condition. Conclusions: Undiscovered and asymptomatic DIVCs pose a potential risk to patients during clinical interventions. Advancements in diagnostic imaging contribute greatly to the incidental discoveries of inferior vena cava duplication.

Cases of a retroperitoneal tumor with double inferior vena cava (IVC) are rarely reported. The present report documents a case of a retroperitoneal lymphoma with double IVC, and discusses its embryological, clinical and radiological significance. In addition, previous cases of a double IVC are reviewed. In the present report, a 52-year-old male patient was hospitalized for a retroperitoneal lymphoma tumor and double IVC. CT urography was performed, whilst a three-dimensional visualization model was also established based on CT data, to reveal a retroperitoneal tumor with double IVC. The present case involved a double IVC with interiliac vein, which was type 2b from the left IVC. The retroperitoneal tumor was identified to be a lymphoma measuring 116x83 mm by percutaneous puncture biopsy. Surgical treatment is generally not recommended for lymphoma. Therefore, this patient was transferred to the Hematology Department for treatment according to the lymphoma management guidelines. The size of the tumor was reduced after chemotherapy during the patient's follow-up. In conclusion, the three-dimensional visualization model can directly and accurately present the anatomical features of the double IVC and its surrounding tissue structure. In addition, variations in the features of IVC can have important clinical significance. It is also important for surgeons, interventional radiologists and clinicians to understand such abnormalities in anatomical features to avoid misdiagnosis and reduce the occurrence of serious intraoperative complications.

An uncommon encounter during temporary pacemaker implantation – A double inferior vena cava

Abstract: Double inferior vena cavae (IVC) is a congenital variation caused by an unusual embryological development of the IVC. We report an incidental finding of infrarenal double IVC in a 70-year-old female.
