Reconstruction of jugular and portal blood flows using remodeled great saphenous vein grafts

Remodeled great saphenous vein grafts were used to reconstruct both jugular and portal veins. The great saphenous vein was split longitudinally and sutured side-to-side to construct a vessel twice the diameter and one half the length of the original vessel. This graft was used with good results for...

Zusammenfassung:	Remodeled great saphenous vein grafts were used to reconstruct both jugular and portal veins. The great saphenous vein was split longitudinally and sutured side-to-side to construct a vessel twice the diameter and one half the length of the original vessel. This graft was used with good results for reconstruction of the jugular veins in a patient after a bilateral neck dissection for tongue cancer and for a portal vein in a patient after resection for cancer in the head of the pancreas.
