  • Title: [Reconstruction of unilateral iliac vein occlusion].
    Author: Gruss JD, Bartels D, Vargas-Montano H.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir; 1988; Suppl 2():181-6. PubMed ID: 3236952.
    Abstract:
    From 1 July 1971 through 6 June 1987, 46 of 10,644 reconstructive vascular interventions were Palma-operations. The morphological operability was ascertained by ascending phlebography and the functional indication by phlebodynamometry. The autologous contralateral saphenous vein was used in 19 patients as a transplant, whereas 27 patients received a spiral-wrap polytetrafluoraethylene (PTFE) prosthesis. All patients were given a temporary av-fistula. Followup was possible in 15 of the 19 autologous operations and in 25 of the 27 PTFE operations. Ten vein transplants and 21 PTFE transplants were still patent.
