β¦ Synopsis
Gaining access for vena cavography may be difficult in patients with multiple venous occlusions. We report the use of selective azygous venography to demonstrate potency of the proximal inferior vena cava (IVC) when no alternative route was available and noninvasive techniques were not applicable. The proximal superior vena cava and the distal IVC were occluded.

## Abstract We sought to compare the inferior vena cava diameter measured by transthoracic echocardiography and by transesophageal echocardiography in human and animals. Transthoracic echocardiography yielded lower inferior vena cava diameter values than transesophageal echocardiography. Adult and
