Abstract
BACKGROUND: The great saphenous vein is used as patch material in several types of arterial reconstruction, including trauma and carotid and femoral endarterectomy. There have been reports of saphenous patch blowout, particularly of patches constructed with veins harvested from the ankle. There is a need for objective measurement of the resistance of saphenous vein tissues.Entities:

Figure 3Correlation between maximum tension resisted by each segment of great saphenous vein and their respective diameters, for all 20 venous segments tested. Pearson’s correlation coefficient = -0.852247 (compatible with a strong inverse correlation between diameter and tissue resistance).
