Operative technique and morbidity of superficial femoral vein harvest

“…In the case of failed conventional or endovascular repair it can be effectively deployed in aortoiliac reconstruction due to arterial occlusive disease in the pelvic region [ 22 , 23 ]. It can be successfully used as peripheral bypass material [ 1 – 3 , 24 – 27 ] as well as in the reconstruction of arterial and venous visceral [ 28 , 29 ] and supra-aortic arterial vessels [ 30 , 31 ].
