Abstract
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.Entities:
