Objectives: In this study, we present the treatment outcomes of patients with acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) associated with congenital agenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVCA). Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical findings and follow-up data of patients who were scheduled for an interventional procedure due to acute DVT in 2019-2021 and who were found to have IVCA in venography were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 11 patients with acute DVT associated with IVCA were identified during the study period. Eight of the patients (72.7%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 25.5±6.5 years (16-36 years). Five of the patients were followed up with conservative medical treatment. Endovascular procedure was performed in six patients. At the end of the first year, moderate post-thrombotic syndrome was found in 1 patient and mild post-thrombotic syndrome was detected in 2 patients. Patients who received only medical treatment had a significantly higher Villalta score at the end of the first year than patients who received endovascular treatment (6.6±4.1 and 2.1±1.9, p=0.04). Conclusion: Congenital IVCA is a rare diagnosis that should be kept in mind in young patients with deep venous thrombosis. In these patients, endovascular approach may be effective to prevent postthrombotic syndrome.

Increased Risk

Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava is a rare vascular anomaly, and most cases are asymptomatic. Nevertheless, patients with inferior vena cava malformations may have increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. Particularly, cases of bilateral deep venous thrombosis may arise owing to an insufficient collateral venous drainage from the lower limbs. We hereby describe a case of a previously healthy young male patient presenting with bilateral lower limb deep venous thrombosis as the initial clinical manifestation of congenital inferior vena cava agenesis. We conclude that in young patients presenting with deep venous thrombosis, especially when thrombosis occurs spontaneously, bilaterally, or recurrently, inferior vena cava anomalies should be thoroughly investigated and ruled out as appropriate.

Malformations of inferior vena cava (IVC) as agenesis are a rare congenital anomaly and cause of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs and should be investigated in young patients of unknown aetiology. Treatment with mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolysis can be considered in certain cases of DVT, promoting rapid clot removal, and has also been shown to be an effective treatment in acute DVT. We present a case of acute lower limb DVT associated with IVC agenesis in which Alteplase thrombolysis was used and thrombus aspiration with catheter bilaterally, with subsequent angioplasty of the common and external iliac, obtaining satisfactory results.

Therapeutic Method

The placement of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a therapeutic method for selected patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, insertion and placement of the filter may be associated with certain complications. For instance, retroperitoneal hematoma resulting from perforation of the wall by the filter is such a very rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with perforation of the IVC wall and consecutive hematoma caused by the filter who was treated surgically.

Abstract Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a commonly encountered diagnosis in clinical practice with a variety of well-established risk factors. Congenital absence of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an extremely rare but established risk factor for DVT. Patients who develop DVTs are at high risk of long-term complications, including DVT recurrence and post-thrombotic syndrome. Here we report a rare case of a 27-year-old female who presented with an extensive DVT of the right lower extremity secondary to complete absence of the infrarenal portion of the IVC, confirmed on computed tomography. There is little consensus regarding the appropriate management of this patient population, and a brief review of the current evidence follows.
