Overview

  • A left inferior vena cava results from regression of the right supracardinal vein with persistence of the left supracardinal vein.
  • The prevalence is 0.2%–0.5%
  • The major clinical significance of this anomaly is the potential for misdiagnoses as left sided paraaortic lymphadenopathy.
  • Spontaneous rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm into a left inferior vena cava has been reported.
  • Transjugular access to the infrarenal inferior vena cava for placement of an inferior vena cava filter may be difficult.
  • Typically, the left inferior vena cava joins the left renal vein, which crosses anterior to the aorta in the normal fashion, uniting with the right renal vein to form a normal right sided prerenal inferior vena cava. [1] [2]
