  Abstract

Inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT) represents a subset of deep venous thrombosis. Because of the variety of its clinical presentations, the exact incidence is elusive. We present two cases of IVCT that was incidentally discovered during a routine two-dimensional echocardiography. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) assessment of IVCT added more valuable information that may help in its management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report using RT3DE in the assessment of IVCT.

Keywords: Inferior vena cava; Vena caval thrombosis; Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
