“…Hospitalists need to be aware of the increased risk of deep vein thrombosis with aberrations in IVC anatomy (Spivak et al, ; Sirlak et al, ; Ang et al, ). Surgeons, especially those who work in the retroperitoneal space, must be aware of the common IVC abnormalities which may be encountered during surgery (Ito et al, ; Kumar et al, ; Ang et al, ). Interventional radiologists must also be knowledgeable of these IVC abnormalities during embolization procedures (Trigaux et al, ; Ang et al, ).…”

The clinical anatomy of the inferior vena cava: A review of common congenital anomalies and considerations for clinicians

et al. 2014

Anomalies in the course and drainage of the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) may complicate normal functioning, correct diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions within the abdomen. Development of the IVC occurs during the 4th to 8th week of gestation, and due to its developmental complexity, there are many opportunities for malformations to occur. Although most IVC anomalies are clinically silent and are usually discovered incidentally on abdominal imaging, aberrations may be responsible for formation of thrombosis, back pain, and anomalous circulation of blood to the heart. In this review, we will discuss the most common variations and abnormalities of the IVC, which include the posterior cardinal veins, the subcardinal veins, the supracardinal veins, persistent left IVC, IVC duplication, situs inversus, left retroaortic renal vein, left circumaortic renal collar, scimitar syndrome, and IVC agenesis. For each abnormality outlined above, we aim to discuss relevant embryology and potential clinical significance with regards to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment as is important for radiologists, surgeons, and clinicians in current clinical practice.

“…This has even led to unnecessary chemotherapy (Arisawa et al, ). Technical difficulties during abdominal surgery , particularly retroperitoneal surgery. The abnormal position of the IVC and/or its association with supernumerary renal veins and anomalous tributaries (Ito et al, ; Byler et al, ) complicate dissection and increase the risk of hemorrhage (Aljabri et al, ; Nishibe et al, ; Kumar et al, ). A transperitoneal rather than a retroperitoneal approach to the abdominal aorta and kidneys has been recommended in patients with a duplicate IVC to enable better visualization and control of aberrant vessels (Radermecker et al, ).…”

“…Of note, among the associations with acquired conditions were four cases of renal carcinoma (Marrocco-Trischitta et al, 2001;Ito et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2008;Jiang et al, 2011) and nine cases of venous thromboembolism (Evans et al, 2001;Spivack et al, 2001;Taniguchi et al, 2001;Venkatesh and Kachura., 2006;Milani et al, 2008;Nanda et al, 2008;Siddiqui and Hans, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Moubarak et al, 2009).…”

Left‐sided and duplicate inferior vena cava: A case series and review

2012

Left-sided and duplicate inferior vena cava (IVC) are two major anatomical variants within the spectrum of IVC malformations, both of which are developmental abnormalities of the supracardinal veins. Four clinical cases are described to highlight the computed tomographic appearances of these vascular malformations and provide novel data on venous dimensions. A systematic review of the recent literature (2000-2011) was conducted focusing on the anatomy, demographics, and associated pathology (congenital and acquired) of isolated left-sided and duplicate IVC. A total of 73 relevant articles were retrieved, consisting of case reports and small case series. The prevalence of left-sided IVC is about 0.1-0.4% and that for duplicate IVC about 0.3-0.4%; both anomalies show a slight male preponderance. In each condition, there are documented variations in the course and tributaries of the IVC. The clinical importance of these anomalies lies in three principal areas: the potential for misdiagnosis on imaging; technical difficulties during retroperitoneal surgery (particularly abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and live donor nephrectomy); and their significance in relation to the etiology and management of venous thromboembolism.

“…Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC) vary, reflecting the developmental intricacy of these vessels (Kumar et al, 2008). Double IVC (DIVC) has 0.2-3 % prevalence (Phillips 1969).…”

Double Inferior Vena Cava Detected by CT Venography and Confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Venography: Embryogenesis and Literature Review

et al. 2016

SUMMARY:A hospital based prospective study was conducted from July 2001 to July 2015 at the Department of Radiology, Jordan University Hospital, Amman, Jordan. During that period, five cases of double inferior vena cava (DIVC) were discovered among a cohort of 7722 patients (3861 men and 3861 women, 49.5±16.9 years, range 16-78 years). Cases were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced Spiral CT venography (CTV) and confirmed by turbo three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight contrast-enhanced MR venography. The majority of patients 3166 (41 %) were referred for staging and follow-up of malignancy, postoperative complications 1777 (23 %), nonspecific abdominal pain 1467 (19 %), preoperative assessment 849 (11 %) and trauma 463 (6 %). Magnetic resonance venography showed higher sensitivity, diagnostic accuracy and noninvasive modality for assessment of IVC map. MRV is a more useful, noninvasive modality for assessment of IVC map. DIVC is a common anomaly, its incidence in our study found to be 0.064 %. The incidence, literature review, embryogenesis, and importance of this anomaly are discussed. In addition, sample figures of relevant cases are provided.
