==Overview==
==[[Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting|Harvesting]]==
==Normal Anatomy==
The great saphenous vein (GSV) originates from where the dorsal vein of the [[first digit]] (the large [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]].


After passing anterior to the [[medial malleolus]] (where it often can be visualized and [[Palpation|palpated]]), it runs up the [[medial]] side of the leg. At the [[knee]], it runs over the posterior border of the [[medial epicondyle]] of the [[femur]] bone.
==[[Saphenous Vein Graft Nomenclature|Nomenclature]]==


The great saphenous vein then courses laterally to lie on the anterior surface of the thigh before entering an opening in the [[fascia lata]] called the [[saphenous opening]]. It joins with the [[femoral vein]] in the region of the [[femoral triangle]] at the saphenofemoral junction.
==[[Pathophysiology of Saphenous Vein Graft Disease|Pathophysiology]]==


The '''small saphenous vein''' (also '''lesser saphenous vein''') is originated where the dorsal vein from the [[fifth digit]] (smallest toe) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]], which attaches to the [[great saphenous vein]].  It is considered a [[superficial vein]] and is [[subcutaneous]] (just under the skin).    From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the foot (inferior and posterior to the [[lateral malleolus]]) and runs along the posterior aspect of the leg (with the [[sural nerve]]), passes between the heads of the [[gastrocnemius muscle]], and drains into the [[popliteal vein]], approximately at or above the level of the [[knee]] joint.
