Inferior phrenic vein

The inferior phrenic veins drain the diaphragm and follow the course of the inferior phrenic arteries;
 * the right ends in the inferior vena cava;
 * the left is often represented by two branches,
 * one of which ends in the left renal or suprarenal vein,
 * while the other passes in front of the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm and opens into the inferior vena cava.
