The ductus venosus shunts most of the left umbilical vein blood flow directly to the inferior vena cava. This allows relatively highly oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver and get to the fetal brain.

What does the ductus venosus do in fetal circulation?

During gestation the ductus venosus shunts most of the blood from the umbilical vein directly into the inferior vena cava. Shortly after birth the ductus venosus closes to allow normal circulation. It usually closes completely within the first week after birth, but can take longer in pre-term infants. After it is closes a small remnant remains and is called the ligamentum venosum.
