The IVC is the largest vein draining the blood from the lower half of the body to return it to heart for oxygenation in close proximity to the liver.The report states that this segment of the IVC is open without obstruction. This is good news for the patient and should be reassuring. The doctor could now look into other potential causes of the major problem facing the patient and the physician.
