Conclusion We believe that LDLT combined with posthepatic IVC reconstruction using cryopreserved vena cava graft is considered to be a sound modality for IVC obstructed BCS.
The indication of these procedures and the methods of lymph node dissection, bronchoplasty and pulmonary artery reconstruction, and superior vena cava reconstruction have been discussed.
Among them locally advanced lung cancer in 6 cases,malignant thymoma in 3,seminoma in 1,Hodgkin lymphoma in 1,metastatic squama cancer in and angusty of superior vena cava in 1.
A Pancoast tumor in the right lung apex can also compress a large vein called the superior vena cava which drains blood from the head, upper chest, and arms.
Lastly, G is for great vessels which includes the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, ascending aorta, aortic arch, pulmonary artery, and descending aorta.
These peritubular capillaries then reunite to become the cortical radiate veins, then the arcuate veins, then interlobar veins and finally into the left and right renal veins which connect to the inferior vena cava.
This is a good way to think about the superior vena cava, because its job is to drain (or return) deoxygenated blood straight down into the right atrium.
Now, the lower half of the body drains into the inferior vena cava and the upper half drains into the superior vena cava both of which dump blood back into the right atrium.
The venae cavae has two divisions: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, and these divisions both return blood to the right atrium of the heart.
