 note = {Serious problems may be encountered in arterial or venous reconstruction in cases of severe trauma and contaminated tissues. We report the use of a spiral venous graft (SVG) in a case of two-stage bypass aimed at saving first life, and then the extremity.  Severe open and contaminated injury was present in the lower abdomen and pelvic region of 29-yearold woman brought to the emergency department following a traffic accident. The patient was in shock, and was taken for emergency surgery jointly with the relevant departments. Interposition bypasses with synthetic graft were performed in the first stage. The synthetic grafts were subsequently removed due to problems developing secondary to infection at subsequent follow-up, and revascularization was established with autologous grafts together with SVG. SVGs are alternative grafts in cases with contaminated tissues and requiring major vessel reconstruction. This technique can add to the therapeutic options available.},
