Inferior vena cava occlusion with pulmonary embolism because of complications due to ruptured abdominal aneurysm demonstrated by radionuclide venography. 1995

National Cardiovascular Center, Department of Radiology, Osaka, Japan.

A 66-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm confirmed by CT had bilateral swelling of the lower extremities with pain radiating to the back. Radionuclide venography and pulmonary scintigraphy demonstrated occlusion of the inferior vena cava and multiple pulmonary emboli, with a hot spot in the liver. Surgery revealed a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm that occluded the inferior vena cava, fistula formation, and extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava proximal to the occlusion site. Radionuclide venography was useful in detecting venous obstruction and the collateral formation represented by the hot spot in the liver as complications of the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, and in assessing the improvement of pulmonary embolism by medical therapy.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
