Introduction: Transplantation, especially, of the right kidney may be difficult to properly choose the main drainage vein due to abundance of renal veins with the thin wall and the small diameter. Therefore, we report three cases, wherein anastomosis-related complications may be avoided by using a reconstructed Y-shaped major saphenous vein graft.
Case Presentation: The first case was a case of congestion when anastomosed with a trifurcated renal vein which ligated branch. The second case was a case of donated kidney with three renal veins, which were all short, small, and thin-walled. The third case was a case of donated kidney with four renal veins. Two of them were unused, though the other two veins were short and thin-walled with equal diameters. In all of three cases, renal veins were anastomosed with Y-shaped saphenous vein graft.
Conclusion: Y-shaped saphenous vein graft is possibly effective for such reconstructions as it may prevent anastomosis-related complications.

Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) remains the gold standard in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease (CAD). Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are commonly used for the non-left anterior descending artery (LAD). However, SVG failure rates in CABG surgery have been reported to be as high as 30% at 1 year and ∼50% at 10 years.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a significant health problem. Although animal models have provided significant insights into the DVT pathophysiology, time-course assessment in a same animal is technically limited. Recently, we reported a novel murine saphenous DVT model for in vivo visualization of spatiotemporal dynamics of inflammatory cells.
