Implantation of Cryopreserved Allograft Pulmonary Monocusp Patch: to Treat Nonthrombotic Femoral Vein Incompetence

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

We implanted cryopreserved allograft monocusp patches made from cadaveric pulmonary arteries to correct nonthrombotic valvular insufficiency of the common femoral vein in patients with chronic venous ulcers. Thirty-eight patients with 40 ulcers of longer than 3 years' duration underwent valvular repair of the common femoral vein from September 1995 through November 2001. We studied ulcer healing and competence of the monocusp patches using duplex ultrasonography.
