The contrast-enhanced imaging study revealed an anatomic feature that the crossing veins (about 1.5 mm in diameter) connecting the right and left IMVs are located just ventral to the xiphoid process. Furthermore, the crossing veins can be identified on contrast-enhanced images, and refinement of this method is expected to lead to future non-invasive anatomical investigations in an even larger number of cases.
