Sumario:We highlight the case of a double Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) encountered in a multi-visceral recovery operation on a deceased donor. In such cases pre-operative abdominal cross sectional imaging is usually not available hence the procurement surgeon needs to rely on vigilance and awareness of other potential anatomical variations that are associated with the condition. We outline our operative approach, summarize the embryological development of IVC and present the case as a reminder of this rare anatomical variation.
