Abstract
Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis or obstruction is a complication r arely associated with blunt trauma. We present a case of IVC thrombo-o cclusive lesion with both hepatic and renal failure which developed af ter a thoracoabdominal blunt trauma. Direct thrombectomy and patch cav oplasty were successfully carried out under deep hypothermia using car diopulmonary bypass.
