“…The prevalence of this anomaly is 1% to 3% (29), and the most common form is one in which 2 distinct IVCs arise from each iliac vein (30). Usually, the left IVC ends at the level of the left renal vein, crossing over to join the right IVC (3).…”

With the increased use of cross-sectional imaging, systemic venous anomalies are more frequently being recognized in asymptomatic patients. Accurate characterization of systemic venous anomalies plays a major role in the appropriate selection of a surgical approach or interventional procedure.In this article, we review common and uncommon inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies. We describe the embryological basis and clinical implications of these anomalies, particularly from an interventional radiology perspective. We also discuss the complications and treatments of these anomalies.

“…A PubMed search with terms ‘Duplicated Inferior Vena Cava’ and ‘Inferior Vena Cava filter’ returned 14 cases utilising three options for caval interruption: (1) placement of bilateral IVC filters (10 cases); (2) filter insertion in large right IVC and steel coil embolisation of the smaller IVC (2 cases); (3) filter insertion in large right IVC and catheter-directed thrombolysis 12–24 (see table 1 ).…”

Management of acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in a patient with duplicated inferior vena cava and contraindication to anticoagulation: case and review of the literature

Duplication of the inferior vena cava (DIVC) is an uncommon embryological anatomic phenomenon.We report a 63-year-old woman with extensive right leg deep vein thrombosis who required an IVC filter due to contraindications for anticoagulation, but was found to have DIVC which required the placement of two IVC filters with good result. This report will review and summarise past reports of DIVC management to provide a guide for future clinicians, and review the embryological development, diagnosis and IVC filter placement options as they are based on the type of anatomic malformation encountered.

“…The most common anatomy of the duplicated IVC is shown in Figure 6. The left iliac vein gives rise to the left IVC, and the right iliac vein separately gives rise to the right IVC, uniting with the right renal vein, which crosses anterior to the aorta and joins the left IVC [16]. The left and right iliac veins usually do not join with one another.…”

Duplicated inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. We describe the utility of a new graft from the left IVC in a patient with duplicated IVC for reconstructing the middle hepatic vein (MHV) after partial hepatectomy with MHV resection. A 67-year-old woman with hepatitis C was found to have a liver tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that the tumor, which was attached to the MHV, was hepatocellular carcinoma. Central bisectionectomy (S4, S5, and S8 resection) could not be tolerated because of poor liver function and a low future liver remnant volume. Therefore, partial hepatectomy with MHV resection was performed. The left IVC was harvested as a venous graft and was substituted for the resected MHV. She recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 12. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of using the left IVC as a venous graft. The left IVC is a good candidate graft for the MHV or for portal vein reconstruction because of its length, diameter, and easy harvesting (it did not require an extra incision) in a patient with duplicated IVC.
