Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (hereditary hemorrhagic teleangiectasia, HHT) is a dominant disorder that leads to multiorgan vascular dysplasia, involving teleangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations of the skin, thenose, lungs, the alimentary tract and the central nervous system.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the most common cardiac surgery [1] and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality following CABG. DVT was reported in 70–80% of patients who underwent open heart surgery, and can be asymptomatic [2–5]. Moreover, other morbidities which complicated the post-operative course immediately after DVT may cause complications for patients after they have been discharged from the hospital [2–5]...

The venous anatomy of the lower limb is highly variable and these variations have immense clinical significance particularly in cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The femoral vein (FV) throughout its course is normally accompanied by the femoral artery (FA). In the lower part of the adductor canal, the FV lies posterolateral to the FA; while, in the upper part of the canal and in the lower part of the femoral triangle (FT), it is posterior to the FA and immediately below the inguinal ligament, it comes to lie medial to the FA...
