A case is reported of inferior vena cava syndrome in a patient with extreme obesity (BMI: >70 kg/m(2)), treated at a public hospital. The inferior vena cava obstruction was diagnosed during an attempt at inferior vena cava filter percutaneous insertion, in prebariatric surgery period. The diagnosis occurred after a hepatic scintillography, and was confirmed with a femoral venography and celiac trunk arteriography. The patient underwent a biliopancreatic diversion-duodenal switch and has lost weight. A venography 7 months after the surgery did not show any inferior vena cava rechanneling evidence. |
