Vascular trauma: successful repair using human umbilical cord vein interposition grafts in femoral artery and vein.
A case of extensive injury to the left femoral artery and vein is presented. As circumstances did not permit the use of autogenous vein grafts, human umbilical cord vein grafts were used. Almost one year afterwards the patient is doing well and both grafts are patent.
