Popis: Although the outcomes of patients with retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury have improved because of damage control (DC) strategies, some rare complications have been observed.We present the case of a 35-year-old man with diverticulum-like projections (DLPs) of the retrohepatic IVC that occurred following peri-IVC packing based on DC strategies. The DLPs were treated conservatively with anticoagulant therapy and he recovered completely.Caution must be exercised regarding such rare complications after abbreviated surgery. Conservative therapy may be the optimal treatment for patients with DLPs of the retrohepatic IVC after peri-IVC packing.
