Lengthening the greater saphenous vein with the use of the lateral femoral cutaneous vein.

Besides quality, the length of the greater saphenous vein dictates the feasibility of vein bypass grafts in femorodistal popliteal or tibial revascularization. A simple and effective technique of lengthening the greater saphenous vein is described that allows the use of the laterofemoral cutaneous vein in continuity. This technique can be applied when the distal segment of the greater saphenous vein is inadequate or unavailable.

Repair of stenotic saphenous vein grafts in infrainguinal arterial reconstructions.

We describe a technique of repairing autologous vein grafts affected by segmental stenosis. This technique can be of value both in reoperating on an old saphenous vein graft implanted for infrainguinal limb revascularization and in harvesting fresh saphenous vein in which an unexpected short-segment stenosis has been encountered.
