Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Vena Cava Filters
Mechanical devices inserted in the inferior vena cava that prevent the migration of blood clots from deep venous thrombosis of the leg.
Azygos Vein
A vein which arises from the right ascending lumbar vein or the vena cava, enters the thorax through the aortic orifice in the diaphragm, and terminates in the superior vena cava.
Vena Cava, Inferior
The venous trunk which receives blood from the lower extremities and from the pelvic and abdominal organs.
Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
A condition that occurs when the obstruction of the thin-walled SUPERIOR VENA CAVA interrupts blood flow from the head, upper extremities, and thorax to the RIGHT ATRIUM. Obstruction can be caused by NEOPLASMS; THROMBOSIS; ANEURYSM; or external compression. The syndrome is characterized by swelling and/or CYANOSIS of the face, neck, and upper arms.
Portacaval Shunt, Surgical
Surgical portasystemic shunt between the portal vein and inferior vena cava.

Clinical Trials
Vena Cava Filter U.S. Clinical Trial
The investigation is designed to verify that clinical use of the vena cava filter does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to currently-marketed permanent filters.
Evaluation of Patients With Vena Cava Inferior Thrombosis
The purpose of the study is to evaluate patients with inferior vena cava (IVC)thrombosis in terms of etiology, clinical course and prognosis during long-term follow-up. Patients with isola...
