title: [Veno-valvulectomy and primary in situ arteriolization of the great saphenous vein for the treatment of ischemic lower limbs].
abstract: After the study of the valvular distribution of 18 cadaveric great saphenous veins, we performed microsurgically great saphenous veno-valvulectomy and primary in situ veno-arteriolization for 18 severely ischemic limbs of 17 patients of these patients, 14 had thromboangiitis obliterans, and 3 arteriosclerosis. 16 patients were followed up for 14 to 32 months after operations. The results were excellent. The procedure is a good alternative for the treatment of extensive arterial occlusive disease of the lower limbs.
