| Abstract: | A study of fifty umbilical veins has shown that the adult vein is not completely fibrosed. Successful cannulation was obtained in forty-four of forty-seven adult veins. Two types of umbilicoportal venous junctions were noted. This vein provides access for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures on the portal system and liver. |
