Linear endoscopic ultrasound evaluation of hepatic veins

Figure 31 This image shows the right inferior accessory hepatic vein draining the right posterior sector. The presence of liver parenchyma above the joining of the vein points to retro rather than suprahepatic course of the vein. In this case the main right hepatic vein was absent and all the venous drainage was provided by the accessory vein. IVC: Inferior vena cava.
