Tempkin Ch 11

Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)

TermDefinition
Inferior Vena Cava is one of the two great abdominal vessels; the other being the aorta
Inferior Phrenic Veins course in a superior to inferior direction, draining the diaphragm and emptying into the lateral aspect of the IVC
Left Hepatic Vein empties into the left lobe of the liver
Middle Hepatic Vein empties into the caudate lobe of the liver
Right Hepatic vein empties into the right lobe of the liver
Right Suprarenal Vein does not empty into the right renal vein. It enters directly into the IVC at a level slightly superior to the right renal vein
Left Suprarenal Vein follows a course similar to that of the left renal vein, into which it eventually empties
Left Gonadal Vein follows a course parallel and lateral to the IVC and empties into the left renal vein
Left Renal Vein is normally much longer than the right renal vein as it runs from the left kidney to the IVC
Right Renal Vein generally empties only the right kidney
Right Gonadal Vein courses parallel to the IVC, empties into the anterior lateral aspect of the IVC
Right & Left Common Iliac Veins tributaries empty the lower extremities and pelvis at approximately the level of the umbilicus
Postrenal Section extends from just inferior to the renal veins until the common iliac veins converge into the IVC
The Renal Section the most inferiorly located area of the IVC
Prerenal Section it extends from just inferior to the hepatic veins to slightly superior to the renal veins
Hepatic Section located directly posterior to the liver, where the hepatic veins empty into the IVC
The Lumbar Veins veins that bilaterally empty the posterior abdominal wall into the lateral aspect of the IVC, just superior to the convergence to the common iliac veins
