Venous anomalies in renal transplantation: an accessory left-sided IVC in a live kidney donor
Keyword(s):
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.
