| Abstract: | Several techniques for bypass of the superior vena cava have been described, including spiraled saphenous vein graft, femoral
vein graft, and polytetrafluoroethylene graft as conduits. We present two cases of superior vena cava obstruction treated
with juguloatrial bypass using harvested superficial femoral vein. We feel that the superficial femoral vein, with its diameter
similar to that of the internal jugular vein, provides several advantages compared to other conduits in a juguloatrial bypass. |
