Prótese intracava provisória no tratamento de lesão da veia cava retro-hepática

Abstract

One of the most difficult challenges to surgeons is the treatment of wounds on the retro hepatic vena cava. The anatomic particularities of this venous segment make its approach and treatment difficult, contributing to a high morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been described for the treatment of these types of lesions. In this particular case, authors have chosen the introduction of a fastened provisory intra caval prothesis, without primary suturing of the wounds. The provisory intra caval prothesis can be an option for the treatment of retro hepatic vena cava lesions.
