Abstract
Remodeled great saphenous vein grafts were used to reconstruct both ju gular and portal veins. The great saphenous vein was split longitudina lly and sutured side-to-side to construct a vessel twice the diameter and one half the length of the original vessel. This graft was used wi th good results for reconstruction of the jugular veins in a patient a fter a bilateral neck dissection for tongue cancer and for a portal ve in in a patient after resection for cancer in the head of the pancreas .
