Abstract
A 69-year-old man who had hemorrhagic shock after inadvertent stripping of the right superficial femoral-popliteal vein during surgery for greater saphenous vein varicosis in another hospital was referred to us. Phlebography revealed a ruptured popliteal vein with intact profunda femoris and common femoral veins. The stripped superficial femoral-popliteal vein brought in a jar was reimplanted. Phlebography performed during the patient's follow-up visits in our outpatient clinic 11 months postoperatively showed a patent femoral vein.
