Left-sided IVC. a Coronal CT image shows a non-enhanced left-sided IVC (asterisk) draining into an enhanced left renal vein which connects to the hepatic IVC. b Coronal CT image of a second case demonstrates a typical confluence of common iliac veins (yellow asterisk) forming the infrarenal IVC on the left side of the aorta (white asterisk) to join the left renal vein (arrow) which drains into the orthotopic IVC. The proximal right renal vein (arrowhead) is also pictured draining into the suprarenal IVC
