Femorocaval bypass with femoral crossover bypass for iliofemoral and caval occlusion.
Progress in the management of major venous obstruction has lagged far behind advances in arterial reconstruction. As a result, literature reports consist of small numbers of patients, and most vascular surgeons have little or no experience in performing bypass procedures for major venous obstruction. In this setting, individual reports add to our cumulative knowledge in treating this disease. We therefore present our experience in the management of a patient with extensive bilateral femoropopliteal, iliac, and vena caval occlusion.
