The left common iliac vein occasionally travels upwards to the left of the aorta to the level of the kidney, where it receives the left renal vein and crosses in front of the aorta to join the inferior vena cava. [4] The right common iliac vein is virtually vertical and lies behind and then lateral to its artery. Each common iliac vein receives ...
In human anatomy, iliac vein refers to several anatomical structures located in the pelvis: Common iliac vein , formed by the external and internal iliac veins, drains into the inferior vena cava Deep circumflex iliac vein , formed by the union of the venae comitantes of the deep iliac circumflex artery, and joins the external iliac vein
The superior, of large size, passes medialward, and, after anastomosing with branches from the middle sacral, enters the first or second anterior sacral foramen, supplies branches to the contents of the sacral canal, and, escaping by the corresponding posterior sacral foramen, is distributed to the skin and muscles on the dorsum of the sacrum, anastomosing with the superior gluteal.
A continuation of the femoral vein, [1] the external iliac vein starts at the level of the inguinal ligament. [2] It runs beside its corresponding artery and along the brim of the lesser pelvis to unite with the internal iliac vein anterior to the sacroiliac joint where it forms the common iliac vein.
The internal iliac vein emerges from above the level of the greater sciatic notch It runs backwards, upwards and towards the midline to join the external iliac vein in forming the common iliac vein in front of the sacroiliac joint. It usually lies lateral to the internal iliac artery. [2] It is wide and 3 cm long. [3]
