case_images: Cross sectional imaging at that time revealed extensive IVC occlusion (Fig. 1) and multiple dilated collaterals in the soft tissues especially around the area of the upper esophagus.
case_images: Pre-recanalization venogram showing completely occluded abdominal IVC and multiple abdominal-pelvic collaterals reconstituting flow through dilated azygos system

case_images: IVC using traditional techniques, including sharp recanalization with a variety of hydrophilic wires, catheters, triaxial systems and intravascular needles were unsuccessful. Initial planning venography from right common femoral access showed a completely occluded abdominal IVC and multiple abdominal-pelvic collaterals reconstituting flow through a dilated azygos system (Fig. 2).
case_images: Immediate post-recanalization venogram showing widely patent stented IVC with decreased abdominopelvic collaterals, VCF-1 catheter in the aorta, transhepatic GooseNeck snare

case_images: Repeat venography demonstrated brisk flow through the recanalized IVC and a marked decrease in the number and sizes of intra-abdominal pelvic collaterals (Fig. 3).

case_images: One month later, the patient returned for follow up venography, which demonstrated widely patent stented IVC and removal of the transhepatic permcath (Fig. 4).
