Computerized tomography (CT) angiography showed total interruption of the IVC below the hepatic veins and confirmed the abnormal return of the right-side pulmonary veins into the subdiaphragmatic IVC below an IVC obstruction (Fig. 1). The right side of the retrohepatic IVC was exposed by retroperitoneal dissection (Fig. 1).
Computed tomography (CT) coronal view demonstrated the hepatic veins draining directly into the right atrium (red arrow).

There were IVC collaterals to the azygos vein draining into the superior vena cava and hepatic veins draining directly into the right atrium (Fig. 2).
Postoperative reconstructed CT image shows the ringed PTFE graft (arrow) from suprarenal IVS to right atrium with good blood flow.
