Abstract

Many inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies remain asymptomatic because of collateral circulation, but thrombosis of these channels can cause acute deep venous thrombosis with serious sequelae. For those with threatened limbs, anticoagulation is the mainstay of treatment, with endovascular pharmacomechanical thrombolysis replacing open surgical thrombectomy. Described is a severe case of massive iliocaval deep venous thrombosis with bilateral lower extremity Rutherford IIb acute limb ischemia in a patient with congenital IVC atresia. After initial thrombolysis, endovascular IVC reconstruction was accomplished to decompress the lower extremities. The patient ultimately required a right through-knee amputation but remains ambulatory with a prosthetic.
