The hepatic vein drains deoxygenated blood from the liver into the inferior vene cava.

Explanation:

They also transport blood that has been drained from the colon, pancreas, small intestines and the stomach, and cleaned by the liver. Thus the liver performs the role of a filtering organ for blood that is on its way back to the heart.

The hepatic veins originate in the liver lobule's central vein. They do not have valves.
Any impediment in the out flow of blood from the hepatic veins may result in a serious condition (Budd-Chiari syndrome) causing liver damage.
