right atrium of the heart
the largest veins in the human body are the venae cavae. these are two large veins which enter the right atrium of the heart from above and below. the superior vena cava carries blood from the arms and head to the right atrium of the heart, while the inferior vena cava carries blood from the legs and abdomen to the heart. the inferior vena cava is retroperitoneal and runs to the right and roughly parallel to the abdominal aorta along the spine. large veins feed into these two veins, and smaller veins into these. together this forms the venous system.

inferior vena cava syndrome (ivcs) is a constellation of symptoms resulting from obstruction of the inferior vena cava. it can be caused by physical invasion or compression by a pathological process or by thrombosis within the vein itself. it can also occur during pregnancy. pregnancy leads to high venous pressure in the lower limbs, decreased blood return to the heart, decreased cardiac output due to obstruction of the inferior vena cava, sudden rise in venous pressure which can lead to placental separation, and a decrease in kidney function. all of these issues can arise from lying in the supine position during late pregnancy which can cause compression of the inferior vena cava by the uterus. symptoms of late pregnancy inferior vena cava syndrome consist of intense pain in the right hand side, muscle twitching, hypotension, and fluid retention.
