Left ovarian vein

Vena ovarica sinistra

Definition

The ovarian vein, the female gonadal vein, carries deoxygenated blood from its corresponding ovary to inferior vena cava or one of its tributaries. It is the female equivalent of the testicular vein, and is the venous counterpart of the ovarian artery. It can be found in the suspensory ligament of the ovary.

The left ovarian vein, unlike the right, often joins the left renal vein.
