Popis: This article considers the potential options for open deep venous reconstructions based on pathologic complication (obstruction vs insufficiency), anatomic location, presence of disease-free venous architecture, and patient need. Other things being equal, less invasive techniques and disease locations will be attempted as first-line therapy. When other options fail and symptoms persist, open venous surgery by means of bypass for obstructive disease and valve repair or replacement for deep venous insufficiency remains a viable option. The basic techniques available and overall success rates of each are considered.
