A study of vein grafts used for the relief of venous obstruction of the dog's hind leg was undertaken to find out how feasible and helpful a similar procedure would be in Post-Phlebitic Syndrome in the human. The use of vein grafts implanted into the venous system has had little attention compared to the extensive studies on arterial grafts. It has been established that grafts, both autogenous and of plastic cloth weave, have been successful in major veins such as the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava. Little attention has been paid to veno-venous grafts of small caliber, and it is the general impression that thrombosis of such a graft is almost certain.
