We report a case of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) accompanied by a double inferior vena cava (DIVC). A 76-year-old-man was admitted because of right leg edema and pain. Venography revealed two IVC and massive venous thrombus. To avoid massive pulmonary embolism (PE), it was necessary to block both the right and the left IVC. However, the right IVC was too small to implant the filter, so we placed a temporary IVC filter (Antheor filter) in the suprarenal portion of the IVC, after the confluence of the two IVC, and started thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy. Venography, performed 6 days after filter implantation, showed a considerable amount of remaining thrombus. We replaced the Antheor filter with a Gunther retrievable filter because the former has a catheter and is not suited for long-term use, whereas the latter can be used permanently. Two weeks after filter exchange, thrombus had decreased but remained. We therefore did not remove the Gunther filter. The patient's symptoms gradually improved in response to anticoagulant therapy, and he was discharged with no complications. The present case illustrates the importance of a correct understanding of anatomy and demonstrates the effectiveness of using a suprarenal IVC filter in DVT.</p>","PeriodicalId":14717,"journal":{"name":"Japanese heart journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24909326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation was carried out on 41 dyslipidemic patients (21 males and 20 females) with a mean age of 53.8 years (range, 30-76). The patients were divided into subgroups according to their cholesterol and triglyceride levels as hypercholesterolemic (n = 26) and mixed-type hyperlipidemic (n = 15) and their risk factors for coronary heart disease including age, sex, hypertension, obesity, smoking, and family history.
