Venous revascularization of the arm: report of three cases.
Three patients with disabling sequelae of venous obstruction in the upper extremity were treated surgically. In one, direct venous repair was used, whereas in the other two, the internal jugular vein was used to bypass the area of obstruction. Restoration of adequate venous return was associated with permanent symptomatic relief.
