Abstract
Dear Editor, The inferior vena cava (IVC) conveys blood to the right atrium from all structures below the diaphragm. The majority of its course is within the abdomen, but a small section lies within the fibrous pericardium in the thorax. It is formed by the junction of the common iliac veins anterior to the fifth lumbar vertebral body, a little to its right. It ascends anterior to the vertebral column, to the right of the aorta.
