Abstract Background Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) with gas in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare presentation and to our knowledge, this is the first case report in the urologic literature. Case presentation A 35-Year-old obese diabetic Hispanic female presented to the emergency room with a clinical picture of septic shock. Prompt computerized tomography scan revealed EPN with gas throughout the right renal parenchyma and extending to the right renal vein, IVC, and pulmonary artery. She died before surgical intervention Conclusion This case demonstrates that patients presenting with severe EPN have a high mortality risk and providers should acknowledge that septic shock, endogenous air emboli, or a combination of both could result in cardiovascular collapse and sudden death.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements governmental grants Uterine leiomyoma is a commom disease in women, however, intravenous leiomyomatosis of uterine origin extending via inferior vena cava into the right side of the heart,known as intracardiac leiomyomatosis is a rare condition (3%). In 1907, Durk reported the first case of intracardiac extension. The patient was a Woman, 35 years old, admitted to our emergency department for an intracardiac mass. She had shortness of breath,fatigue and chest pain. The transthoracic two dimensional echocardiography showed an echogenic oval mass mobile in right atrium and projected through right ventricle in diastole. This mass was observed to extend from inferior vena cava to the right atrium. The echotransesophageal three dimensional showed a large mobile mass that extended from inferior vena cava to the right atrium. A Computer tomographic (CT) scan showed a hypodense multilobulated mass in the pelvis, which had invaded the inferior vena cava and right atrium. The patient underwent a two stages surgery. In first stage (transatrial tumor resection). The operation was performed normal temperature with establisment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Subsequently, the pathological report was confirmed uterin smooth muscle origin. The second stage surgery ( total histerectomy) was done four weeks later for removing lobulated mass uterin with dimensions 20x15x7.5cm with confirmed histopathological of leiomyoma. Because of it is nonspecific clinical presentation and rarity, an intracardiac Leiomyomatosis continues to be a misdiagnosed as either thrombus or myxoma. The cardiac imaging techniques like a transthoracic echocardiography 2d and transesophageal echocardiography 3d have been used to define the presence, extension of tumor as appearance of the mass and involvement of adjacent structures.

Osteosarcoma commonly metastasize to the lung, lymph nodes, liver and brain. In this case we describe a rare presentation of direct infiltration, by an osteosarcoma, of the iliac veins that continued into the inferior vena cava (IVC)and could be seen up to the right atrium.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) can present with symptoms due to infection or sepsis. EPN presenting with renal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus is very rare. We report a case of EPN with renal vein and IVC thrombus and its management.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the occlusion or flow reduction in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava and can be treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt when hepatic vein recanalization fails.1-3 Hypercoagulable patients with primary BCS are predisposed to development of new areas of thrombosis within the TIPS shunt or IVC. This case details a patient with BCS, pre-existing TIPS extending to the right atrium, and chronic retrohepatic IVC thrombosis who underwent sharp recanalization of the IVC with stenting into the TIPS stent bridging the patient until his subsequent hepatic transplantation.

Suprahepatic Inferior Vena Cava

Purpose The treatment of suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) ruptures results in high mortality rates due to difficulty in performing the surgical procedure. Here, we present a case of successful endovascular management of a life-threatening suprahepatic IVC rupture with top-down placement of a stent graft. Case Report A 33-year-old woman was involved in a traffic accident and presented to our emergency department due to unstable hemodynamics after blunt abdominal wall trauma. Computed tomography (CT) revealed massive extravasation of contrast agent from the suprahepatic IVC, which suggested traumatic suprahepatic IVC rupture. To seal the IVC, to salvage major hepatic veins, and to prevent migration of the stent graft into the right side of the heart after placement, an aortic cuff with a proximal hook was introduced in a top-down direction via the right internal jugular vein. After closure of the injured IVC, the patient’s hemodynamics improved, and additional laparotomy was performed. After 3 months of trauma care, the patient recovered and was discharged. Follow-up CT after 58 months showed a patent stent graft within the IVC. Conclusion Endovascular management with top-down placement of a stent graft is a viable option for emergent damage control in patients with life-threatening hemorrhage from IVC rupture.

Hepatocellular carcinoma usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, lung, and bones but can rarely invade the inferior vena cava with intravascular extension to the right atrium. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted for generalized oedema and was found to have advanced HCC with invasion of the inferior vena cava and endovascular extension to the right atrium. In contrast to the great majority of hepatocellular carcinoma, which usually develops on the basis of liver cirrhosis due to identifiable risk factors, none of those factors were present in our patient.
