Body
was changed:
An accessory right inferior hepatic vein is the most common variation of the hepatic veins. It is present in up to 48% of the population and drains the posterior part of the right lobe (mainly segments 6VI and 7VII) directly into the inferior vena cava (IVC).
Variations in hepatic vascular anatomy are particularly important in the setting of liver surgery, transplantation and radiological intervention.
