Tributaries of Inferior Vena Cava

  • Common Iliac Veins:
    • * Are formed by the union of the external and internal iliac veins unite to form the inferior vena cava.
    • * Each vein receives an iliolumbar vein. The median sacral vein joins the left common iliac vein.

                                                                                                                                      

  • Lumbar Veins:
    • * Third and fourth lumbar veins run along with the corresponding arteries and open into the posterior aspect of the inferior vena cava.
    • * The first and second lumbar veins end in the ascending lumbar vein, on the right and the left sides.

                                                                                                                                        

  • Right Testicular or Ovarian Vein:
    • * Opens into the inferior vena cava just below the entrance of the renal veins. The left gonadal vein drains into the left renal vein.

                                                                                                                                 

  • Renal Veins:
    • * Join the inferior vena cava just below the transpyloric plane. Each renal vein lies in front of the corresponding artery.
    • * The right vein is shorter than the left and lies behind the second part of the duodenum.
    • * The left vein crosses in front of the aorta receives the left suprarenal and gonadal veins.

                                                                                                                                     

  • Hepatic Veins:
    • * Are three large and many small veins, which open directly into the anterior surface of the inferior vena cava just before it pierces the diaphragm.

                                                                                                                                              

  • Suprarenal Vein
    • * The right suprarenal vein emerges from the hilum of the gland and opens into inferior vena cava.
    • * The left suprarenal vein opens into the left renal vein.
