Regional Histomorphometry of the Hepatic Inferior Vena Cava; a Possible Sphincteric Mechanism

This study was aimed at identifying the changes in diameter and structural composition of the Hepatic Inferior Vena Cava in its infrahepatic, intrahepatic and suprahepatic portions. Eighty adult liver specimens from the Chiromo and Nairobi City mortuaries were used for morphometry, while twenty of t...
