3. Fig. 2
Photograph of IVC balloon occlusion device. Side stopcocks on handle permit intravenous infusion and venography with fluid exiting from ports in catheter just proximal to balloon. Stopcock at end of handle permits balloon distention through inflation needle inside outer catheter. Turning wheel on handle backs inflation needle out of balloon core and separates it. Balloon contents are retained by double-valve mechanism.

X-ray films showing procedure for balloon placement. Left to right, top to bottom: Catheter is seen in right iliac vein; venogram shows anatomy and left iliac thrombus; balloon is round on initial inflation; balloon elongates and is molded by IVC; venogram confirms adequate balloon size and proper placement; catheter separates and is removed.

5. Fig. 4
Serial x-ray films show gradual deflation of balloon. Rounding of balloon occurs on day 4 as IVC accommodates to lateral pressure of balloon. Venogram at 6 months shows collapsing balloon and patent IVC above. (From Hunter JA, Dye WS, Javid H, Najafi H, Goldin MD, Serry C. Permanent transvenous balloon occlusion of the inferior vena cava.
