title: Customized femoral vein grafts for inferior vena cava reconstruction.
abstract: After extended en-bloc resection of a retroperitoneal neoplasm, prosthetic grafts can efficiently replace the inferior vena cava. However, in cases of concomitant biliary or bowel surgery, there is a risk of infection, and autogenous materials typically used present with size match. We present a method of autogenous graft construction using the femoral vein for replacement of the inferior vena cava, with an alternate configuration for renal vein implantation.
