Correction of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome with Superficial Femoral Vein Juguloatrial Bypass
Tóm tắt
Several techniques for bypass of the superior vena cava have been described, including spiraled saphenous vein graft, femoral vein graft, and polytetrafluoroethylene graft as conduits. We present two cases of superior vena cava obstruction treated with juguloatrial bypass using harvested superficial femoral vein. We feel that the superficial femoral vein, with its diameter similar to that of the internal jugular vein, provides several advantages compared to other conduits in a juguloatrial bypass.
