The most common defect in the wall of the vena cava is the presence of a venous malformation or a venous thrombus. These defects can lead to complications such as thrombosis, which may obstruct blood flow and result in swelling or other symptoms. Additionally, congenital defects like a persistent left superior vena cava can also occur, affecting the normal anatomy and function of the vena cava. Regular monitoring and imaging are often necessary to manage these conditions.
