Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of Husni's operation in treatment of femoropopliteal vein occlusion.Method Eight consecutive patients were operated on for femoropopliteal vein occlusion from 1988 to 2000.Results Six patients were followed up, the mean follow-up period was 74 months. Four cases failed as the graft had thrombosed. Conclusions Careful selection of candidates for Husni's procedure is the key-point for satisfactory results. The operation should be performed early before the muscle pump disfunction occurs. Elastic compression of the lower limb may be important.
