common bile duct reconstruction by a great saphenous vein graft- case report

Introduction: The purpose of the report is to present a new, uncommon procedure for common bile duct reconstruction. Presentation of the case: The great saphenous vein was used for reconstruction as a venous graft. Also, we made a review of the available literature and found only a few similar case reports and several experimental studies on animals. Discussion: The reconstruction of the common bile duct had been rarely used. There are complications and benefits described. Making a reconstruction in this way often requires using an intraluminal stent. Conclusion: Venous graft reconstruction can be considered as a successful way for reconstruction when is performed with placing the removable or biodegradable stent.
