Clinical, hemodynamic, and anatomic follow-up of direct venous reconstruction
T. F. O'Donnell Jr, W. C. Mackey, A. D. Shepard and A. D. Callow
Conventional therapy for the advanced clinical stages of the postthrombotic
syndrome is associated with recurrence of symptoms and ulcer. Direct venous
reconstruction may relieve the symptoms of patients with either iliac vein
obstruction or valvular incompetence, but there are few reports detailing
late hemodynamic and anatomic findings. We summarized the clinical,
hemodynamic, and anatomic follow-up of six patients with saphenofemoral
bypass (SFB) and ten patients with axillary vein valve-to-popliteal vein
transplants (PVTs) who were followed up for a minimum of two years. All ten
ulcers in the PVT group healed and symptoms of venous claudication, limb
swelling, and all ulcers healed in the SFB group. Late (greater than 2
years) anatomic and functional assessment showed that the SFB bypasses were
patent and the PVTs were both patent and functional.
