Transposition of Femoral Artery and Vein in Fossa Ovalis Encountered during Varicose Vein Surgery: 3 cases report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

During dissection of the saphenofemoral junction, anatomical variations in the tributaries of the long saphenous vein and external pudendal artery are frequently encountered, but the transpositions of the femoral artery and vein have very rarely been reported. On operation of the varicose vein, the surgical complications can be minimized when the possible deviations in the normal anatomy are taken into the consideration.
