Microsurgical vein grafting for vessel reconstruction has its roots in the vascular surgery of 100 years ago.

The success and popularization of extremity replantation quickly led to the utilization of vein grafts in select cases. Current prac-tices use vein grafts whenever needed to bridge gaps in vessel continuity during reconstructive microsurgery.

## Abstract A new murine model is presented for interpositional vein grafting into an artery. In ICR (outbred) mice, the femoral vein or a branch of the jugular vein was harvested and placed into a femoral artery defect, using standard microvascular techniques to achieve endβtoβend anastomoses with
In this retrospective study, the survival rates of fingertip replantation with and without vein grafting were evaluated along with their postoperative functional and cosmetic results. One hundred twenty-one-fingertip amputations were performed in 103 patients between September 2002 and July 2007. Th
