Etra JW, et al. - The feasibility and long-term outcomes of using femoral vein (FV) for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and lower extremity bypass (LEB) creation were determined via reviewing 44 patients who underwent vascular reconstruction with FV (AVF = 27 and LEB = 17). Outcomes revealed high perioperative morbidity following FV harvest, but with excellent long-term patency rates. For patients without useable great saphenous vein or other more commonly used sources of autogenous vein, they suggest FV harvest as feasible and recommend considering it as a valid conduit.
