[Biometry of the inferior vena cava (subrenal segment): dissection of 100 recently deceased subjects].
The vena cava inferior in its infra-renal part is a selective place to set on anti-thrombosis devices. The biometry of 100 fresh, adult cadavers interested the useful and real lengths, the diameters on several levels and on the corresponding part of the aorta, the end of the iliac venae and the origin of the iliac arteriae. The useful length of the vena cava inferior is 96 mm in mean, and its real diameter is 17 mm, on the middle of the infra-renal part.
