Abstract
Complete inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis can be a lethal complication in a liver transplant recipient. The case of a 52-year-old liver transplant recipient, who developed complete IVC as well as left iliofemoral thrombosis, is reported. After treatment with combined tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and heparin, the IVC was successfully recanalized with sharp dissection, balloon dilatation, and stent placement.Entities:
