A 30-yeаr-оld wоmаn with а family histоry of protein C deficiency presented with complaints of leg pain, tenderness, and swelling. Warmth of the left lower limb and pain on dorsiflexion of the foot were noted on physical examination. Lab tests confirmed protein C deficiency and hypercoagulability.

A temporary vena caval filter was inserted and a venous thrombectomy was performed. What is the longest vein in the lower extremity?
