“…Prevalence of IVC duplication is estimated at 0.2–3.0%, but in most cases, duplication involves only the infrarenal segment, and the left‐sided IVC drains to the right‐sided IVC via left renal vein. The IVC anomaly described here is much more unusual and appears most similar to the case described by Brochert and Reynolds 5 …”

“…The IVC anomaly described here is much more unusual and appears most similar to the case described by Brochert and Reynolds. 5 The clinical picture of this patient corresponds to a sporadic case of Holt-Oram syndrome. This is characterized by combination of upper limb abnormalities ranging from triphalangeal thumb or thenar hypoplasty to phocomelia, with cardiac defects, most commonly secundum atrial septal defect, although primum atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect have been described.…”

Persistence of Left Supracardinal Vein in an Adult Patient with Heart–Hand Syndrome and Cardiac Pacemaker

A patient with a sporadic heart-hand syndrome, which includes thumb hypoplasia, septum primum atrial septal defect, and cleft mitral valve is described. During attempted placement of a pacemaker lead, persistence of left superior and inferior vena cava was found in addition to the right-sided caval veins. This corresponds to persistence of left-sided supracardinal vein present during fetal development.

“…Also, the pediatric liver transplant literature suggests that a preduodenal course and hypoplasia of the portal vein are common in patients with polysplenia, which is present in ∼10% of patients with biliary atresia 9,24,27,28 . In addition, other IVC anomalies have been reported in conjunction with IVC interruption in patients with heterotaxy 29–31 …”

PSVC and other abdominal venous anomalies may be clinically important but under-recognized in patients with IVC interruption and univentricular heart disease. In such patients, preoperative evaluation of the abdominal systemic venous system may be valuable. More data are necessary to determine whether there is a pathophysiologic connection between the polysplenia variant of heterotaxy, PSVC, and cavopulmonary anastomosis-associated pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.

“…The common congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava and its main branches are reported to have incidence rates of 0-0.5% for transposition of the inferior vena cava, 0.02-3.0% for duplication of the inferior vena cava, 0.088-8.7% for a circumaortic left renal vein, 0.64-3.7% for a retroaortic left renal vein, and 0.1-4.3% for interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos/hemiazygos continuation based on autopsy, radiological imaging, and operative findings, including some cited data [3,6,7,[11][12][13][14]. Major anomalies of retroperitoneal veins are usually easy to be detected preoperatively by radiological imaging.…”

We retrospectively examined the cases of renal tumors experienced between 1993 and 2002 to evaluate the rates of incidence and preoperative identification by imaging techniques, mainly CT, of retroperitoneal venous abnormalities. Among a total of 178 renal cell carcinomas and 13 renal benign tumors, the incidence of multiplicity of renal veins was 5.3%, restricted to operatively confirmed cases (9 out of 170 cases). None of these multiplicities could be detected by preoperative radiological examinations. Other major venous abnormalities included duplications of inferior vena cava and retroaortic left renal vein and spontaneous splenorenal shunt which were all correctly diagnosed preoperatively. The incidence of these abnormalities was 0.52% (1 out of 191 cases for each). A retroperitoneal venous anomaly is common, but urologists must have sufficient knowledge about acquired retroperitoneal venous abnormalities, which seem rather uncommon, to be prepared for the potential hazards which may occur during urological operations.
