Where this comes from

Abstract

This report describes a simple venous reconstructive technique that results in an autogenous vascular graft with sufficient luminal diameter for replacing the vena cava. The majority of vena caval reconstructions are performed using prosthetic grafts; however, graft infection is a concern in clean-contaminated hepatobiliary and retroperitoneal resections.
