Figure 16 Graft congestion secondary to segment VIII vein ligation. A: Intra-operative color Doppler image showing stagnant (to-and fro flow) within a ligated V8 (normal intraoperative finding); B: Photography showing geographical areas of discoloration (congestion) along the anterior segments of the graft (arrows); C: Postoperative US image of the same patient 2 d post-operative demonstrating large, echogenic, geographical areas of congestion along the anterior segments of the graft (arrows). Associated graft dysfunction was present. V8: Segment VIII vein.
