15 paź 2020 · Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular anomaly that begins at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins, passes through the left side of the mediastinum adjacent to the arcus aorta. It mostly drains into the right atrium via the coronary sinus (CS).
23 lis 2012 · In most published studies, cancer is the most common underlying cause of superior vena cava obstruction. Lung cancer, either non–small cell or small cell cancer, can directly invade into the superior vena cava. Lymphoma, either Hodgkin disease or nonHodgkin lymphoma, tends to compress the vessel.
In the light of this, we review the literature on the blood supply to the diaphragm, with specific emphasis on the recent description of the inferior phrenic vessels and the superior phrenic artery, summarize the clinical significance of the dia-phragmatic vasculature and suggest future avenues of study to further expand on this current body of ...
18 lip 2023 · Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a clinical condition that occurs as a result of obstruction of the SVC, leading to interrupted venous return from the head, thorax, and upper extremities to the right atrium.
1 lis 2021 · The pericardium is normally supplied by small branches from the internal thoracic, pericardiophrenic, musculophrenic, inferior phrenic arteries, and the thoracic aorta. Veins from the pericardium enter the azygos system of veins in the internal thoracic and superior phrenic veins.
17 lip 2023 · The pericardiacophrenic veins are a minor portocaval anastomosis connecting splenic vein and superior vena cava and can become engorged in portal hypertension. Imaging the pericardiacophrenic veins (or arteries) is a reliable aid in clinical procedures that require locating the phrenic nerve.
1 sty 2010 · Unusual collateral pathways in cases of superior and inferior vena cava obstruction are reviewed—including the systemic-to-pulmonary venous collateral pathway, cavoportal collateral pathway, and intrahepatic collateral pathway—and their imaging appearances and significance are described.
