This paper reports the use of a vein cuff to facilitate the anastomosis of a prosthetic graft to a small artery. This technique makes it easier to perform a good anastomosis and may improve the chances of long‐term patency.
Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is an uncommon condition, which is often not correctly diagnosed clinically. Diagnosis is readily made by duplex scan, computerized tomography with contrast or magnetic resonance imaging. A case of IJVT following carotid endarterectomy with intra‐operative retraction of the internal jugular vein is reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
