What Does IVC Stand For?
IVC stands for Inferior Vena Cava
The Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. It is a crucial component of the circulatory system, bringing blood from the legs, pelvis, abdomen, and lower organs to the right atrium of the heart. The IVC plays a vital role in maintaining efficient blood circulation and is important for various medical assessments and interventions.
