[7] The right phrenic nerve may be crushed by the vena cava clamp during liver transplantation. [8] Severing the phrenic nerve, or a phrenectomy, [9] will paralyse that half of the diaphragm.

The phrenic nerve is oriented vertically as it passes in front of the anterior scalene, while the subclavian vein is oriented horizontally as it passes in front of the anterior scalene muscle. [ 4 ] The passing of the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery through the space of the anterior and middle scalene muscles constitute the scalene ...
Pericardiacophrenic vessels accompany the phrenic nerve in the middle mediastinum of the thorax. The vein drains into the internal thoracic vein , or brachiocephalic vein . [ 1 ]
The subclavian nerve may issue a branch called the accessory phrenic nerve [3] [2] which innervates the diaphragm. [3] The accessory phrenic nerve may rather branch from the C4 or C6 segments or ansa cervicalis. [4] This nerve usually joins with the phrenic nerve before innervating the diaphragm, ventral to the subclavian vein. [5]
