A 33 year-old woman who was 10 weeks pregnant presented with localized pain and swelling in the left lower extremity. A blood test revealed an elevated D-dimer level (50 μg/mL). Vascular ultrasound detected venous thrombosis extending from the left popliteal vein through the external iliac vein. Although anticoagulant therapy with heparin was initiated, vascular ultrasound surprisingly revealed bilateral DVT 1 week later. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed that the infra-renal IVC was filled with a long thrombus that extended into both common iliac veins, dilating and completely occluding them (Fig. 1 A). We placed an IVC filter via the right internal jugular vein but filter expansion was insufficient. An abortion was performed to save the mother’s life and the anticoagulant therapy was switched to thrombolytic therapy. Three weeks later, CT revealed regression of the thrombus in response to thrombolytic therapy and two IVCs on the right side of the abdominal aorta. The medial IVC, which had been occluded by the thrombus, was formed by the union of two common iliac veins (Fig. 1 C–E, black arrow). On re-evaluating the previous CT, we noticed that the medial IVC was tapered at the renal level (Fig. 1 B). The lateral IVC, into which the filter had been inserted, was a continuation of the right ovarian vein (Fig. 1 C,*). The bilateral renal veins drained into the lateral IVC (Fig. 1 C–E, white arrow). There were no heterotaxy syndrome and visceral situs inversion. To explore communication between the two IVCs, we used the CT/ultrasound Smart Fusion imaging technique (Canon Medical Systems, Japan), which performs “volume-to-volume fusion” of previously acquired CT and real-time ultrasound images. Color Doppler imaging revealed communication between the two IVCs (Fig. 1 F, G). After injection of agitated saline solution into the left femoral vein, contrast-enhanced ultrasound revealed microbubbles in the medial IVC that subsequently moved to the lateral IVC as shown in Online Animation 1. The incidence of double IVC is 0.2–3%[1]. IVC duplication on the ipsilateral side is extremely rare [2, 3]. During pregnancy and the postpartum period unilateral DVT is the most common form of DVT [4], however, the left femoral vein thrombosis developed into bilateral DVT in our case. Underlying mechanisms for bilateral development of the DVT may be explained by a two-hit model: blood stasis induced by the double IVC (“first hit”) triggered DVT when she became pregnant (the “second hit”), which led to the discovery of the anomalous IVC.
