Laceration of the inferior vena cava (IVC) often presents as an acute surgical emergency requiring immediate operative intervention. We show that when the patient's clinical condition permits, angiography may delineate the site of caval laceration and active hemorrhage, and identify associated arterial injuries. Contrast extravasation from the IVC also is reported for the first time.
