28
Q

Where does the left renal vein course compared to the SMA and abdominal aorta?

A

Posterior to the superior mesenteric artery
Anterior to
the abdominal aorta

29
Q

31
Q

Where does the middle hepatic vein course?

A

Oblique course between the left and right hepatic

lobes

32
Q

33
Q

What does doppler demonstrate in the hepatic veins?

A

Spontaneous, multiphasic, and pulsatile blood flow toward the IVC
- hepatofugal

34
Q
