Anatomy of the ostia venae hepaticae and the retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava

A M Camargo et al. J Anat. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

In 30 normal adult livers the retrohepatic segment of inferior vena cava had a length of 6.7 cm and was totally encircled by liver substance in 30% of cases. Altogether 442 ostia venae hepaticae were found, averaging 14.7 per liver and classified as large, medium, small and minimum. The localisation of the openings was studied according to the division of the wall of the retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava into 16 areas.
