Femorofemoral venous bypass graft for the treatment of venous occlusion of the common femoral vein in a nine year old boy.
Unlike arterial disease, most vascular surgeons have very little experience in performing bypass procedures for venous obstruction especially when occurring in children. Given the lack of published literature when compared to arterial procedures, we report a successful venous crossover procedure following iatrogenic injury and subsequent occlusion of the right common femoral vein in a nine year old boy.
