Internal jugular vein reconstruction using a triple-paneled great saphenous vein graft
説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Donor–recipient diameter discrepancy can be problematic when using an autologous great saphenous vein graft for internal jugular vein reconstruction. A triple-paneled method of saphenous vein grafting is one solution.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Case presentation</jats:title> <jats:p>A 54-year-old man with a thyroid papillary carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. An 8-cm segment of the right internal jugular vein was resected. For reconstruction, a 30-cm segment of the great saphenous vein was harvested and divided into three pieces of equal length. After opening each piece longitudinally, they were sutured together in a side-by-side fashion to create a cylinder that was used to reconstruct the internal jugular vein defect. The graft was patent 10 months after the surgery.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>The triple-paneled method is feasible for autologous great saphenous vein graft reconstruction of the internal jugular vein.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
