Sumario:We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with severe aortoiliac occlusive disease (TASC-D) and an incidental finding of a left sided inferior vena cava, discovered on the preoperative computed tomography scan. This uncommon congenital finding can create intraoperative challenges to the vascular surgeon. In this case report, we have described this anatomic variant and elaborated on our surgical technique to suggest a few tips and tricks for addressing these cases.
