  • long term results of common external iliac Vein reconstruction using Internal Jugular Vein a case report discussion
    Vascular Surgery, 1997
    Co-Authors: Thomas M Bergamini, R W Bock, Peter K Henke, Mark A Wilson, Bo Eklof
    Abstract:

    This case report gives the long-term outcome of a patient undergoing reconstruction of the iliac Vein with Internal Jugular Vein interposition graft following trauma. A 51-year-old woman sustained a gunshot wound at the confluence of the right common, Internal, and external iliac Veins as well as injuries to the small and large bowel. The Internal iliac Vein was ligated and the external and common iliac Vein was reconstructed with interposition Internal Jugular Vein graft. The Internal Jugular Vein was chosen because of the fecal contamination due to the enteric injuries and the equivalent size and endothelialized surface of the conduit. The Internal Jugular Vein interposition graft has maintained long-term patency. The patient has been followed for six years with no development of leg swelling or chronic venous valvular insufficiency.

  • Internal Jugular Vein thrombosis following functional neck dissection
    Laryngoscope, 1995
    Co-Authors: Timothy G Leontsinis, Andrew R Currie, Aylwyn Mannell
    Abstract:

    Twenty-five patients on whom 27 functional neck dissections were performed for upper aerodigestive tract squamous carcinoma were prospectively investigated to determine the frequency of venous thrombosis on the side of the neck dissection. Retrograde venography, performed within 1 month postoperatively, was used to determine the status of the Internal Jugular Vein. Nineteen Veins were patent at venography, but ipsilateral occlusion was demonstrated in 8. In 5 of the 8 patients, venous thrombosis followed major wound sepsis or fistula formation. No causes for the remaining 3 cases of Internal Jugular Vein thromboses were identified. Possible mechanisms for “spontaneous” Internal Jugular Vein occlusion following functional neck dissection are endothelial trauma, reduction in venous flow during anesthesia, and the altered coagulability profile of some cancer patients. The finding that functional neck dissection does not always maintain patency of the Internal Jugular Vein is especially important when surgical treatment to the opposite side of the neck is planned, as the surgeon may be faced with an unexpectedly complicated postoperative course.

  • Internal Jugular Vein thrombosis after functional and selective neck dissection
    Archives of Otolaryngology-head & Neck Surgery, 1997
    Co-Authors: Huma A Quraishi, Kenneth Granke, Susan M. Rodman
    Abstract:

    Objective: To determine the incidence of Internal Jugular Vein thrombosis after functional or selective neck dissection. Design: Patients underwent serial Doppler ultrasonographic examinations of their Internal Jugular Veins, on postoperative days 1 and 7, following functional neck dissection. Long-term follow-up was conducted at a minimum of 3 months. Setting: Department of Otolaryngology, West Virginia University, Morgantown. Patients: Sixty-five patients (51 men and 14 women) underwent 100 functional neck dissections between 1993 and 1995. Thirty-five patients had NO, 10 had N1, and 20 had N2 node involvement, respectively. Thirty-five patients underwent bilateral neck dissection, 17 underwent left neck dissection, and 13 underwent right neck dissection. Main Outcome Measures: Thrombosis of the Internal Jugular Veins was determined using duplex Doppler scanning. Correlation with the length of the procedure, intraoperative blood loss, preoperative radiation therapy, stage of neck disease, presence of extracapsular spread, wound infection, and pedicled musculocutaneous flap closure was determined. Results: Of the 100 Internal Jugular Veins studied, 20 (24.7%) of 81 and 19 (26.4%) of 72 were found to have evidence of thrombosis on postoperative days 1 and 7, respectively. On long-term follow-up, the incidence of Internal Jugular Vein thrombosis was significantly lower (5.8%;P Conclusions: Our results indicate that even though the incidence of Internal Jugular Vein thrombosis is relatively high immediately following neck dissection, a significant number of these Veins will undergo recanalization and have excellent long-term patency.
