Cyanoacrylate closure, VenaSeal system, for the treatment of incompetent saphenous vein is a new technique. We report a successful case with a large great saphenous vein of 2.84 cm in diameter.

Management of postoperative tarsal tunnel syndrome is a perplexing problem to the surgeons. Autogenous vein wrapping graft is a effective method to decompress the tarsal tunnel. We treated 2 cases of postoperative tarsal tunnel syndrome with autogenous saphenous vein wrapping graft technique, and could get good results. Autogenous vein wrapping graft seems to be a good technique for tarsal tunnel syndrome with severe adhesion, particularly after surgery, and postoperative nerve adhesion can be prevented.

The ideal graft requires acceptable size, less tissue toxicity, resistance to infection, and long-term durability. Great saphenous veins are gaining popularity as acceptable graft conduits, but they require time to grow in caliber. We report 2 cases of graft bypass and reconstruction using superficial femoral veins to acheive immediate high-flow patency.

PURPOSE: The lessor saphenous vein is an anatomical index in various surgical methods involving an approach to the popliteal fossa. However, occasionally, there have been some cases where the surgical process was difficult because the lessor saphenous vein was not found in the popliteal fossa during the operation process. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the anatomical variation of lessor saphenous vein not found in the popliteal fossa with a review of the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 83 cases of selective neurectomy for hypertrophic calf performed in our clinic from March 1997 to June 2013. There were 42 patients, with a mean age of 32.8 years old. We confirmed the existence of the lessor saphenous vein in the popliteal fossa during the operation process. RESULTS: Among 83 cases during this study period, the lesser saphenous vein was not found in four cases. In one patient, no lesser saphenous vein was found on either side of the popliteal fossa, and in two patients, no lesser saphenous vein was found on the left side of the popliteal fossa. As a result, the frequency of variation was found to be 4.8%. CONCLUSION: Due to the anatomical variation of the lessor saphenous vein, it may not be found in the midline of the popliteal fossa. Based on the literature review, several possibilities for failure to observe the lesser saphenous vein could be suggested. If surgeons are well aware of these possibilities, the steadier operation could be performed.

Infected vascular lesion, including aortic graft infection, is one of the most challenging fields in vascular surgery. The primary treatment objectives are to remove the infected graft material and to re-establish vascular continuity with an extra-anatomic bypass or in situ graft replacement. Despite significant progress in perioperative care and antimicrobial therapy, mortality and morbidity remain high. The great saphenous veins are gaining wide popularity as acceptable native vascular grafts, but in terms of flow capacity, their small caliber may be unsuitable for immediate replacement of arterial flow. Superficial femoral popliteal vein grafts are excellent conduits for infected aortic, peripheral arterial and central venous lesion, in terms of feasible harvesting, resistance to infection, serving immediate high postoperative flow and long-term durability. Surgery using the superficial femoral vein (SFV) graft is neither time-consuming nor dangerous. A delicate preoperative and intraoperative surgical plan is mandatory, and future studies regarding the long-term patency, appropriate clinical indication and safety issue of the SFV graft in peripheral vessel reconstruction are warranted.
