  • Title: The right inferior phrenic artery: path of its ascending branch at the vena caval foramen.
    Author: Townend RE, McConnell P.
    Journal: Clin Anat; 2012 Jul; 25(5):656-8. PubMed ID: 22038858.
    Abstract:
    The ascending branch of the right inferior phrenic artery is generally understood to pass to the lateral side of the vena caval foramen, on the inferior surface of the diaphragm. A study of 16 cadavers shows that the artery may pass through the vena caval foramen to run on the superior surface of the diaphragm, before returning to the inferior surface by passing through the muscle of the diaphragm.
