Abstract
A twenty six year old man was admitted to our clinic for bleeding from a venous ulcer of the left leg. His left femoral vein had been ligated for bleeding control after a traffic accident that happened when he was 5 years old. He had a varicose vein, stasis dermatitis, and a venous ulcer on his left leg. To shunt left femoral venous return to the right femoral vein, we did a crossover bypass with arteriovenous fistula using the right greater saphenous vein. To get good patency of the arteriovenous fistula, the bypass graft was closed 6 weeks after the initial operation. He maintained his left leg circumference relatively well for 6 months after the operation. We report the case of a patient who had a vein crossover bypass for a chronic femoral vein ligation.
