Abstract
Traumatic injury combined with common femoral artery occlusion often leads to acute lower-extremity ischemia. A 45-year-old man with left common femoral artery occlusion due to blunt trauma underwent emergency reconstruction. Given the severe caliber mismatch between the artery and great saphenous vein, we divided the vein into three segments and sutured them together to create an adequately sized conduit. Postoperative perfusion was excellent, and computed tomography angiography confirmed patency without stenosis. This simple, practical technique offers a useful alternative for femoral artery injury with size discrepancy, potentially reducing early graft failure and amputation in acute settings.
