ALTERNATIVE AUTOLOGOUS VEIN GRAFTS VERSUS SINGLE SEGMENT GREAT SAPHENOUS VEIN IN LOWER EXTREMITY BYPASS SURGERY - SINGLE-CENTER STUDY.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
1(st) Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University and St. Anne's University Hospital, Brno, Czech Republic.
Objectives: Studies comparing alternative autologous vein grafts (AAVG) to single-segment great saphenous vein (ssGSV) grafts report mixed results. The status of AAVG as first choice when ssGSV is unavailable is not unequivocal, based on current evidence. Our study compares results between AAVG and ssGSV in lower extremity bypass surgery.

Objective: To assess the mid-term outcomes of utilizing bovine pericardium patch (BPP) compared to great saphenous vein patch (GSVP) in femoral angioplasty for iliofemoral occlusive diseases.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out at the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2013 to July 2023 to assess the efficacy of femoral angioplasty in patients with iliofemoral occlusive disease. Technical success, early outcomes, 24-month primary patency, and freedom from restenosis at the patch site were evaluated.
Use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) to Assess Myocardial Perfusion and Territorial Distribution of Vein Grafts Implanted on Coronary Arteries in an Porcine Model. A Potential Adjunct to Assist Revascularization Strategies and Training in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Rev Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Cardiac Surgery, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH 45202, USA.
Background: The fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) has been used to identify anatomical structures intraoperatively in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using ICG to assess graft patency and territorial distribution of myocardial reperfusion during CABG.
Methods: Porcine arrested hearts (n = 18) were used to evaluate territorial distribution of native coronary arteries and of a coronary bypass constructed with porcine saphenous vein graft (SVG) using ICG.
Aneurysm of the arch of the great saphenous vein: therapeutic challenge and review of the literature.
J Vasc Bras
January 2025
Souss Massa University Hospital Center, Agadir, Morocco.
Venous aneurysms are uncommon and can involve the entire venous system and occur at any age. The presence of these aneurysmal formations at the level of the saphenous vein junction is rarely reported, given the small number of cases described in the literature. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with an aneurysm in the saphenofemoral junction of the right great saphenous vein, discovered incidentally during a consultation for varicose veins of the right lower limb.

Objective: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requires revascularization whenever it is possible. The great saphenous vein represents the surgical conduit of choice. However, it is not always available, in particular in multi-operated patients.
