“… 1 , 5 Two prior reports similar (but not identical) to the anomalous anatomy of the presented case were found; the reports described a left IVC with retroaortic crossing just above the LRV confluence to join the azygos vein. 6 , 7 Importantly, both of those cases featured retroaortic courses of the infrahepatic IVC and ostensibly some degree of compression; however, none were symptomatic.…”

Background: Complex congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are rare sequelae of inappropriate persistence or regression of embryological precursor veins. These anomalies are typically asymptomatic and generally do not warrant intervention. Case Presentation: Here we present a case of severely symptomatic left IVC with infrahepatic disruption, azygos continuation, and retroaortic left renal vein causing symptoms of severe pelvic congestion and recurrent miscarriages (8 total) in a 41 year old female. The patient was treated with stenting of the compressed retroaortic portion of the IVC/left renal vein. Four months post-procedure, the stent remained patent and the patient reported considerable improvement in their venous congestion symptoms. Most notably, as of the writing of this report, the patient is 38 weeks pregnant. Conclusions: The case is notable for its severe symptomatology of pelvic venous disease including recurrent miscarriage. More importantly, it represents the first documented case of successful retroaortic endovascular management of such a venous anomaly, in which the entirety of the typical IVC drainage occurred via a compressed left-to-right retroaortic crossover.

Transposition of inferior vena cava, or, left-sided inferior vena cava (LS-IVC) is a rare clinical entity, in which the inferior vena cava ascends along the left side of the abdominal aorta. Literature contains mainly clinical case reports. Although it is usually not associated with clinical symptomatology, this anomaly should be detected during preoperative planning to avoid iatrogenic injuries intraoperatively. We present a case of left-sided inferior vena cava encountered during laparoscopic lymphadenectomy in a 45-year-old man with previous laparoscopic hemicolectomy due to colon adenocarcinoma. Preoperative CT abdomen revealed the left-sided location of infrarenal IVC and laparoscopic trans-peritoneal aortic lymphadenectomy was decided. Intraoperatively, transposition of inferior vena cava was confirmed in accordance with the CT findings. Resection of lymph node block was conducted with no complications and with minimal blood loss. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital the day following surgery. In conclusion, transposition of the inferior vena cava, although rare, constitutes an anatomical variant that should be identified preoperatively to decrease intraoperative risks. Several anatomical variants have been associated with left-sided inferior vena cava.
