title: [Venous insufficiency following lack of a healthy superficial femoral vein and popliteal vein].
abstract: Using the superficial femoral yein in ultimate arterial reconstructive surgery we have not found distinct signs of venous insufficiency concerning the clinical status, the strain gauge plethysmography and the measurement of limb circumference. For special indications the use of the superficial femoral vein presents a valuable addition to our armamentarium of arterial substitutes.
