This medical device, marketed as temporary and retrievable, is presumably placed in
the vena cava vein until the threat of an embolism has passed.

Your baby, now growing rapidly, may get pressed against the
vena cava, which is the main
vein that carries blood back to your heart from your lower body.
That's because the weight of the baby can compress the
vena cava, the
vein that transports blood to your heart.
William Harvey sliced open a live snake and, while pinching its
vena cava, or main
vein, watched as the heart into which it pumped blood grew paler and smaller.
Traditionally this complicated procedure, inferior
vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy, is performed using a large open incision, primarily because the
vein is often difficult to reach.
The stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) was used to treat inferior
vena cava tumor thrombus (IVC - TT) that reached the heart, a complication of kidney cancer in which the tumor extends into the venous system − the system of
veins that return blood to the heart.
It is not a perfect rendition of the heart — it shows two chambers instead of four, and the
vena cava, the large
vein that carries blood from the body to the heart, is on the far left instead of the right.
Sit - ups and other «on your back» ab moves are not advised because the baby's pressure can cut off circulation in your inferior
vena cava (important
vein that returns blood to your heart).
The weight of the baby compresses the inferior
vena cava, which is the largest
vein of the body.
The
veins commonly used to collect blood samples are the cranial
vena cava inside the top of the sternum and the jugular
vein in the neck.
The adrenal glands are situated along the
vena cava (the large
vein in the abdominal cavity) near each kidney.
An adrenal tumor removal is traditionally one of the most challenging procedures in small animal surgery, as the adrenal gland is located in a difficult position next the
vena cava (the largest
vein in the abdomen) as well as the renal arteries and
veins (to the kidneys), the aorta, and other vital structures.
The poorly oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the femoral
vein, then the iliac veins, and eventually the caudal vena cava (labeled as Vein in this pictu
vein, then the iliac
veins, and eventually the caudal
vena cava (labeled as
Vein in this pictu
Vein in this picture).
As the stomach begins to turn, a cascade of pathological events begin to occur: compression of the caudal
vena cava and portal
vein (blood flow to the heart), reduced cardiac output and myocardial ischemia, shock, perfusion to critical organs is reduced and fatality if not corrected quickly.
Single intrahepatic PSS is a communication between the portal
vein and the caudal
vena cava.
An adrenal tumor had infiltrated her
vena cava (the major
vein returning to the heart) and she was dying.
As the problem progresses, respiration difficulties due to the enlarged stomach and a loss of adequate blood flow through the heart (decreased cardiac function due to pressure on the large
vena cava and hepatic
veins that returns blood to the heart) result in hypoxia (inadequate oxygen), shock and collapse.
This compresses the abdominal blood vessels such as the portal
vein and caudal
vena cava.
A failure of the ductus venosus to close causes an intrahepatic shunt, while extrahepatic shunts are usually a developmental abnormality of the vitelline
veins, which connect the portal
vein to the caudal
vena cava.
Most commonly, extrahepatic shunts are found connecting the portal
vein or left gastric
vein to the caudal
vena cava.
Surgery was considered, but further examination found that tumor had also invaded the
vena cava, the major
vein carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
This
vein is called the
vena cava.
Right side valvular disease arises when blood has collected in the
vena cava and jugular
vein, which causes the heart to pump faster and work harder; this eventually causes the heart to enlarge, forcing the heart's internal chamber capacity to decrease, which means less blood can be pumped out.
