  • Title: Intra-operative internal jugular vein thrombosis complicating microvascular free flap transfer.
    Author: Castling B, Fowell C, Bhatia S.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2012 Oct; 41(10):1229-31. PubMed ID: 22763140.
    Abstract:
    Internal jugular vein thrombosis is rare. It is often secondary to prolonged central venous cannulation and associated with local or distant malignancy. The authors present a case of intra-operative thrombosis of the internal jugular vein which complicated subsequent microvascular anastomosis of a radial forearm free flap. The management of the intra-operatively thrombosed internal jugular vein and alternative anastamotic options for the free flap are discussed.
