Subacute inferior vena cava occlusion after treatment for advanced colorectal cancer: presentation and management
Abstract
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is an uncommon condition and may not be recognized until the affected patient develops severe symptoms. It is associated with a higher risk of complications than other locations of deep venous thrombosis. Here we present a case of a 72-year-old man with bilateral occlusion of the external iliac veins and inferior vena cava.
