title: [Injury of inferior vena cava].
abstract: Results of treatment of 102 patients with injuries of inferior vena cava (IVC) were analyzed. The causes of injury were penetrating stab-incised wounds of abdomen (67.5% patients), close trauma (28.2%), gunshot wounds (4.3%). Zone of confluence of iliac veins was injured in 7% patients, infrarenal and renal segments -- in 51.9%, suprarenal -- in 21.5%, supra- and retrohepatic -- in 19.6% patients. Injury of one wall of vein was revealed in 63.7% patients, both walls -- in 14.7%, complete disruption of vessel -- in 7.9%, avulsion or fissure of hepatic veins -- in 13.7%. In 96.2% patients trauma of IVC were associated with injuries of liver (37.2% cases), small intestine (26.4%), stomach (15.6%), pancreas (12.7%), duodenum (10.7%), large intestine (6.8%), and other organs (10.7%). The side suture (83.7%), circular one (5%), ligation of vein (6.2%), grafting (3.8%), and ligation of left hepatic vein (1.3%) were performed. Reconstructive surgery was carried out by general surgeon in 30% patients, and by vascular surgeon -- in 70%. Lethality was 53.9% (55 patients). Lethality after injuries of supra- and retrohepatic segments of IVC was 100%, suprarenal and renal segments -- 60.6%, infrarenal segment -- 30.6%.
