  • Title: Bypass graft of an occluded inferior vena cava: report of a case with patency at five years.
    Author: Skinner RA, Ceraldi C.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1999 Apr; 29(4):727-9. PubMed ID: 10194505.
    Abstract:
    Venous reconstructive surgery for chronic occlusive disease has evolved slower than its arterial counterpart. Factors intrinsic to the venous system that have been implicated in discouraging experimental and clinical results include enhanced graft thrombogenicity, low velocity of blood flow, and wall collapsibility. 1,2 We present a case of a 24-year-old man with symptomatic occlusion of the inferior vena cava, treated with a prosthetic bypass graft to the supra diaphragmatic cava. The graft was patent 5 years later, and the patient remained asymptomatic.
