“…The double IVC results from persistence of both the left and right supracardinal vein. The literature revealed that usually, the left-sided IVC ends at the level of the left renal vein, crosses over the abdominal aorta to join the rightsided IVC [24]. However, there might be variations in this arrangement [3].…”

“…The literature also contains many cases in which duplication of the IVC was diagnosed in other situations, such as during autopsy and retroperitoneal surgery (particularly for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and live donor nephrectomy). 9 , 10 This suggests that not all duplicated IVCs lead to venous thrombosis or PE. Therefore, which type of duplicated IVC is likely to cause venous thrombosis requires further study.…”

The inferior vena cava (IVC) may develop abnormally because of its complex embryogenesis. An understanding of congenital variants such as duplication of the IVC is essential for clinical interventions, particularly those performed by surgeons and radiologists. We herein describe five patients who were diagnosed with duplication of the IVC by computed tomography or angiography and summarize their imaging and clinical features. All five patients were men aged 46 to 78 years. Two of the patients had pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis and were treated by placement of an IVC filter and catheter-directed thrombolysis. The IVC in all patients ascended on either side of the abdominal aorta. All left IVCs terminated in the left renal vein, which crossed the aorta and joined the right IVC. The average follow-up time was 29 months (range, 14–46 months), and no patients developed venous thromboembolism or recurrence of thrombosis. Duplication of the IVC can be diagnosed by computed tomography and angiography. Its course and relationship with the renal vein must be identified for accurate planning of IVC filter placement in the setting of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

“…Likewise, Xue et al [24] found a Japanese male cadaver, having a DIVC, in that the left IVC coalesced with the left renal vein and finally ran across in front of the abdominal aorta and drained into the right IVC. Two cases of DIVC were found during renal transplantation: Kennealey et al [9] found a DIVC in a female living renal transplant donor and Raza et al [17] found a DIVC in a male deceased organ donor. Discovery of the anomalous vessels during transplantation caused prolongation of the operative time to re-design the procedure for safety outcomes.…”
