Objective: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVC) is a debilitating disease, and surgical reconstruction has been described with some of the best results using spiral great saphenous vein (SGSV) grafts. SGSV grafts can be difficult to construct, and a long segment of saphenous vein is needed. Femoral vein has been an excellent conduit for infected aortic and peripheral reconstructions in our hands, and we sought to review outcomes using this conduit for SVC reconstruction.

The integration of artificial intelligence methods has further accelerated protein engineering process by enabling the development of predictive models based on data-driven strategies. However, the lack of interpretability and transparency in these models limits their trustworthiness and applicability in real-world scenarios.
