BackgroundVenous anastomosis is one of the most difficult techniques in vascular neurosurgery.MethodWe present a simple technique of end-to-end venous anastomosis for reconstruction of accidentally injured vein. A venous catheter was used for the stent during the end-to-end anastomosis.ResultsThe venous catheter as the stent facilitated confirmation of the ostium of the vein. The venous end-to-end anastomosis was successfully performed.ConclusionsAccidental venous injury can be reconstructed with the present simple technique.
