Vein valve transplantation segmental transposition: a case report.
A patient with chronic venous insufficiency of the right lower extremity caused by total valve incompetence was operated. A 2.5 cm long segment of basilic vein with intact valve was transplanted as an 'interpositum' into the popliteal vein. Postoperative control was performed with venous occlusion plethysmography, radionuclide venography and Doppler US. As a result of the well-functioning implanted valve the complaints of the patient diminished.
