Abstract
Duplicated inferior vena cava (DIVC) is a rare anomaly of the venous system, which is mostly found accidentally during intra-abdominal surgery and radiographic study. This anomaly is asymptomatic but may be related to venous thromboembolism in some patients. We present a case of a patient who had inadequate drainage for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which was found to be related to duplicated inferior vena cava. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
