Article Abstract
The widespread use of computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing and screening abdominal conditions often reveals rare, asymptomatic anomalies. There is a wide range of documented congenital variations in the anatomy of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins. In this report, we detail an exceptionally unusual variant of the IVC that follows a frontward and intraliver course, terminating at the anterior section of the right atrium. To gain a deeper insight into this anomaly, we employed 3D reconstruction techniques using the software Slicer and Blender.

Inferior Vena Cava Ultrasound to Guide Decongestion in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Residual congestion at hospital discharge after an episode of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is associated with poor prognosis. There is no consensus on how optimal decongestion should be assessed.
Objectives: This study aims to determine whether decongestive therapy guided by ultrasound measurements of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameters leads to greater reductions in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels from baseline to hospital discharge as compared with decongestion treatment guided by clinical assessment alone.

Purpose: In 5-10% of cases, renal cancer extends into the venous system, particularly the inferior vena cava (IVC), which worsens prognosis. This study aims to assess morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes of patients treated surgically for renal cancer with IVC extension over a 30-year period, in two experienced centers.
Materials And Methods: This bicentric, retrospective study analyzed patients treated between 1988 and 2020 for renal cancer involving the IVC.
Autologous Graft for Venous Vascular Reconstruction in Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery: A Single Center Experience.

Background: Achieving R0 resection in hepatopancreatobiliary (HBP) surgery frequently necessitates venous resection and reconstruction. Autologous grafts offer a promising solution, particularly in complex resections where infection risk or graft availability limit the use of synthetic or donor grafts. However, clinical data on the outcomes of autologous venous grafts remain limited.
