Reinventing the Saphenous Vein: Reconstructing the Anterior Mitral Leaflet With a Saphenous Vein

Treating the Small Saphenous Vein

S mall saphenous vein (SSV) reflux is an important and often overlooked cause of superficial venous insufficiency. It is present in about one-sixth of patients with superficial venous insufficiency, and its manifestations are often confused with reflux in the great saphenous vein (GSV). The use of the previously common terms “short” and “lesser” saphenous vein have been discouraged, and an inte...

SUBTYPES OF α1-ADRENOCEPTORS IN RABBIT SAPHENOUS VEIN

We investigated the a,-adrenoceptor subtypes of rabbit saphenous vein which has a mixed functional population of α1 and α2 -adrenoceptors. Lateral saphenous veins were obtained from male rabbits weighing 3.20-4 kg, which were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium (i.v. injection). They were easily dissected out and placed in cold, oxygenated modified Krebs-Henselite solution (Krebs)...

Human Saphenous Vein

We performed experiments to determine whether or not acetylcholine exerts a prejunctional inhibitory effect on adrenergic neurotransmission in the human blood vessel wall. Rings of human greater saphenous veins were prepared 2 to 15 hours after death and mounted for isometric tension recording in organ chambers filled with Krebs-Ringer solution. Acetylcholine depressed contractile responses to ...
