Abstract
Background: Inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVC-Th) is a rare clinical entity after blunt abdominal trauma. It has both diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Pulmonary embolism is the most dreadful complication and the leading cause of mortality after IVC-Th. Therefore, accurate prompt diagnosis is crucial.
Objective: The aim of this article was to present a case of IVC-Th in a young male patient who had a blunt traumatic abdominal injury after a motor vehicle accident.
Case presentation: The patient was brought to emergency department and was successfully managed by angio-jet thrombolysis. He developed a transient contrast nephropathy that was recovered after continuous renal replacement therapy. Several management options have been proposed in the literature, including conservative, endovascular and operative management.
Conclusion: Angio-jet is a recent promising technique for managing of venous thrombosis. However, its use in cases of IVC-Th is not extensively discussed in the literature.
