Cross-Over Saphenous Vein Graft Combined With a Temporary Femoral Arteriovenous Fistula

* From the Cardiovascular Surgical Department, St. Catherine Hospital, East Chicago, Indiana. The autogenous saphenous veio used as a bypass graft between the femoral vein and the inferior vena cava in patients suffering from chronic obstruction of the iliac or femoral veins due to trauma, cancer, or irradiation has been reported by several authors .1-3 Recently, the cross-over saphenous vein graft operation has received more attention. It is a relatively simple operation, perhaps offering a better chance of success since only one venous anastomosis is performed .3, However, as Luke pointed out, &dquo;a cross-over or other
