Reconstruction of the Common Femoral Vein and Artery after Resection of a Leiomyosarcoma of the CFV

An innovative reconstruction of the common femoral vein (CFV) concomitant to reconstruction of the femoral arteries in case of a vascular leiomyosarcoma of the CFV is presented here. Preserving venous outflow in the CFV could prevent a post-thrombotic syndrome. A venous reconstruction with a venous spiral graft in combination with a stent prevents postoperative occlusion. Both the venous and arterial grafts remain patent at 1 year of follow-up.
