Brachial jugular autogenous spiral vein bypass for obstruction of subclavian vein.
Recent advances in venous reconstruction allow the surgeon to bypass obstructive lesion of the venous system successfully. Because of low pressure and low velocity flow in the venous system, and adjunct temporary arteriovenous fistula appears to be essential for patency of the venous bypass. The existing data has shown that autogenous vein is superior to prosthetic material for bypassing venous obstruction. We are presenting a 44-year-old patient who has failed medical treatment and successfully been treated by this method.
