The persistent part of the upper venous ring, above the opening of the superior mesenteric vein, forms the trunk of the portal vein.

At its termination behind the neck of the pancreas, the superior mesenteric vein combines with the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein.

The team exposes the abdominal cavity and inserts two cannulae for the infusion of University of Wisconsin organ preservation solution into the aorta and inferior mesenteric vein.

The head surrounds two blood vessels, the superior mesenteric artery and uncinate process which extends to the back of the superior mesenteric vein and ends at the superior mesenteric artery.
18.
The uncinate process, unlike the remainder of the organ, passes posteriorly to the superior mesenteric vein ( it can pass posteriorly to the superior mesenteric artery, but this is less common ).
19.
Venous drainage usually mirrors colonic arterial supply, with the inferior mesenteric vein draining into the splenic vein, and the superior mesenteric vein joining the splenic vein to form the hepatic portal vein that then enters the liver.
