Exempel på saphenous

• The saphenous veins were cannulated and surgery continued under thiopental sodium anesthesia.

• A reconstruction of the carotid artery was performed with endogenous saphenous vein prosthesis.

• The rate of degeneration of grafts fashioned from the saphenous vein is, thus, possibly high.

• In terms of the nature of the graft, autologous saphenous veins,3'6'8"10 the internal thoracic artery, or a combination of both grafts are usually used.

• The saphenous vein was ligated in the two patients who underwent saphenous venous cutdown.

• When a femoral venous catheter was not present, a cutdown of the femoral or saphenous vein was performed to obtain access.

• Grafts prepared from internal mammary arteries had high patency rates compared to those made from saphenous veins.

• Behavioral testing was performed within the sciatic and saphenous innervation area of the hind paws as described previously.

• It is also doubtful that whether the saphenous vein, when used as a free graft, has the potential to grow in a fashion corresponding to overall growth of the patient.

• The saphenous vein is less satisfactory when used as a graft in terms of its long-term patency, particularly in young children less than 8 years old.

• Venous access was obtained through a preexisting femoral venous line in six patients, and through a cutdown of the saphenous or femoral vein in the other three.

• It pierces the vascular lacuna near the saphenous hiatus and supplies the skin below the inguinal ligament (i.e. proximal, lateral aspect of femoral triangle).

• Doctors must use high frequency ultrasound during the procedure to visualize the anatomical relationships between the saphenous structures.

• The great saphenous vein is the most important superficial vein of the lower limb.

• Sclerotherapy can also be performed using microfoam sclerosants under ultrasound guidance to treat larger varicose veins, including the great and small saphenous veins.
