Reconstruction of veins: the need for objectivity.

E A Husni

    The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Venous reconstruction shows promise for treating venous occlusion from trauma and post-thrombotic syndrome. Further objective studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of these surgical procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Venous occlusion, resulting from trauma or post-thrombotic conditions, causes significant disability.
    • Venous reconstruction is emerging as a surgical option to address these debilitating conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of venous reconstruction in a large cohort of patients.
    • To identify suitable candidates for venous reconstruction.
    • To determine the optimal reconstructive procedures and the role of arteriovenous fistulas.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 169 consecutive venous reconstruction cases was conducted.
    • Procedures were categorized based on indication: post-phlebitic disease, trauma, or extrinsic venous obstruction.
    • The use of adjuvant arteriovenous fistulas was analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • 119 procedures were performed for post-phlebitic disease, 42 for trauma, and 8 for extrinsic venous obstruction.
    • Fifteen cases included an adjuvant arteriovenous fistula.
    • Clinical results are described as promising, but require further objective validation.

    Conclusions:

    • Venous reconstruction is a viable surgical approach for venous occlusion.
    • Objective evaluation methods like phlebograms and pressure studies are crucial for definitive conclusions.
    • Further research is needed to solidify the role and efficacy of venous reconstruction techniques.
