We report on the management of a patient with intractable venous claudication and ulceration due to bilateral iliac vein and inferior vena cava occlusion. An inverted V graft was constructed from two 8 mm diameter reinforced PTFE grafts. The upper end was anastomosed to the inferior infrarenal vena cava and the lower ends anastomosed to the common femoral veins. Bilateral arteriovenous fistulas were fashioned. Nine months later the graft is patent and the patient's only symptom is mild ankle edema. The theoretical advantage of this type of graft is that occlusion of one limb will not compromise the other, thus leaving a number of secondary options open if this should happen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007084 Iliac Vein A vein on either side of the body which is formed by the union of the external and internal iliac veins and passes upward to join with its fellow of the opposite side to form the inferior vena cava. Deep Circumflex Iliac Vein,Iliac Veins,Vein, Iliac,Veins, Iliac
D007383 Intermittent Claudication A symptom complex characterized by pain and weakness in SKELETAL MUSCLE group associated with exercise, such as leg pain and weakness brought on by walking. Such muscle limpness disappears after a brief rest and is often relates to arterial STENOSIS; muscle ISCHEMIA; and accumulation of LACTATE. Claudication, Intermittent
