Duplication of the inferior vena cava (IVC) resulting in an accessory left-sided IVC is a relatively rare vascular anomaly with a reported prevalence of 0.7%. Radiologically, a duplicated left-sided IVC is usually seen as a continuation of the left common iliac vein, crossing anterior to the aorta at the level of the renal vein to join the right-sided IVC. We present a rare case in which an accessory left-sided IVC was discovered intraoperatively, in a 47-year-old living donor, posing significant intraoperative challenges regarding extraction and subsequent transplantation.

“…The course and number of collateral veins in congenital anomaly or absence of the IVC are highly variable and if it is detected during abdominal surgery, then it may be detrimental for the patient. Although, anomalies of the IVC are wellrecognized anatomic abnormalities they are considered rare diseases (30). Food malabsorption/intolerance may cause functional, nonspecific, non-allergic GI symptoms…”

primary epiploic appendagitis; Gullo syndrome; beta-thalassemia minor; inferior vena cava anomaly; lactose; fructose, histamine Sugars including lactose and fructose, or proteins (gluten), or biogenic amines (histamine), and combinations thereof may cause food intolerance/malabsorption. However, in usually asymptomatic patients with rare diseases, who present with functional, non-specific, non-allergic gastrointestinal (GI) complaints the etiologic factors of food intolerance/malabsorption need to be evaluated. We summarize patients with rare diseases, such as primary epiploic appendagitis, beta-thalassemias minor, Gullo syndrome and anomaly of the inferior vena cava, who presented functional, nonspecific, non-allergic GI complaints. As conclusion, these GI symptoms in patients with otherwise asymptomatic, rare diseases were due to fructose malabsorption, histamine-, lactose intolerance and Helicobacter pylori (H.p.) infection. A registered and experienced dietician was employed to design an individually-tailored diet which ensured effective treatments and H.p. infection was accordingly eradicated.

BACKGROUND Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies are rare and diagnosed incidentally as most patients are asymptomatic. We present a case where an abnormal course of the wire during percutaneous mitral valve repair revealed abnormal IVC anatomy leading to procedure termination. We summarized all IVC anomalies relevant to cardiovascular physicians and designed a simplified tool to illustrate their course for differential diagnosis. CASE SUMMARY A 78-years-old female presented with severe and symptomatic mitral regurgitation. The heart team decided to proceed with a percutaneous option, considering the patient's high surgical risk. While ascending from the femoral vein, the wire took an abnormal course to the left side of the vertebrae and continued beyond the cardiac silhouette downwards the right atrium. We decided to abort the procedure due to the high risk for vascular complications assuming the need to cross it with the device's delivery system. Retrospective CT analysis revealed an interrupted IVC at the level of the renal vasculature and azygos continuation toward the right atrium via a dilated superior vena cava. The patient was referred to surgery and had successful mitral and tricuspid valve repair and was discharged home in good health. DISCUSSION The increased number of minimally invasive percutaneous procedures, especially for valvular heart disease, mandates profound understanding of the arterial and venous system anatomy. Inferior vena cava anomalies represent a group of anomalies with different paths and variations and have a tremendous impact on all aspects of the procedure.
