Vein cuff anastomosis is beneficial in cases in which a prosthetic graft is anastomosed to a small and thickened peripheral artery. Various types of vein cuff are currently in use, although their design is insufficient when a size discrepancy exists between the two vessels and the angle of anastomosis requires adjustment. We report a case of a patient who underwent below-knee femoropopliteal bypass using a new design of vein cuff (boat-form vein cuff) that increases the ease of cuff creation and enables surgeons to adjust the anastomotic size and angle.
