Traumatic Disruption of Saphenous Vein Graft Bypassed to the Dorsalis Pedis Artery

Abstract

We describe a rare case of traumatic disruption of saphenous vein graft bypassed to the dorsalis pedis artery. The vein graft was disrupted at the level of ankle joint by blunt trauma and symptoms of acute foot ischemia were recognized. The injured vein graft was reconstructed with cephalic vein graft interposition. He has been free from any events of foot ischemia at 10 months follow-up with patent vein graft to the dorsalis pedis artery.
