Explore the origin, course, tributaries, and drainage of the ileocolic vein, and its role in appendectomy procedures.

The ileocolic vein is a vein that drains the distal ileum, cecum, appendix (with the appendicular vein), and proximal ascending colon. It ends into the superior mesenteric vein in the majority of case but in some instances, the ileocolic vein may drain into the gastrocolic trunk.

2025年1月22日 · The ileocolic vein is a blood vessel responsible for draining venous blood from the terminal ileum, cecum, appendix, and part of the ascending colon. It is a significant tributary in the venous drainage of the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to …

The ileocolic vein is a vein which drains the ileum, colon, appendix and cecum. It originates from the Ileocolic artery. The appendicular and the cecal veins merge together and create the ileocolic vein. It drains into the superior mesenteric vein, which later enters the hepatic portal vein. [1]

2015年12月26日 · The ileocolic vein is formed by the union of the anterior and posterior cecal veins, appendicular veins, the last ileal vein, and a colic vein. The ileocolic vein can anastomose with the ileal veins and right colic vein and it eventually drains into the SMV on the right.

2018年1月20日 · The ileocolic vein is located within the digestive tract. It receives blood from the appendicular vein, and it drains oxygen-depleted blood from the ileum in the small intestine and the cecum...

2017年4月6日 · By identifying the terminal ileum and the cecal junction and gently retracting the mesentery near the ileocolic junction anteriorly and laterally, the ileocolic vessel will be tented or “bow stringed” for easy identification. The ileocolic artery is also the first and usually the only branch of the SMA located just below the duodenal sweep.

The detection rates of the ileocolic vein (ICV) and ileocolic artery (ICA) roots and the accuracy in predicting their anatomical relationship were analysed.

METHODS: Fifty-eight adult cadavers were dissected to define the three major venous tributaries of the right colon: the ileocolic vein, right colic vein, and middle colic vein. Two or three middle colic veins were often present, and the biggest one was designated as the main middle colic vein.

2023年8月8日 · The veins that drain the gastrointestinal organs parallel the major arteries that supply the foregut, midgut, and hindgut, including the celiac, superior mesenteric, and the inferior mesenteric arteries respectively. These veins eventually convene at the portal vein, forming a single venous inflow tract into the liver. The celiac vein …
