ABSTRACT
We report a vein surgery procedure for popliteal venous aneurysms (PVAs). A 73-year-old woman with a long, irregularly shaped, PVA and thrombus underwent graft replacement using a manually made triple vein panel graft. Simple bypass grafting with a saphenous vein was unsuitable because of long defects and a size mismatch. We harvested the great saphenous vein from the right thigh, divided it into three segments, anastomosed it side-by-side on the long side, and created a venous panel graft. Good graft patency was confirmed at 4 years postoperatively, and the clinical course was stable without pulmonary embolism recurrence.
