The author exposes the v. saphenam at its inflow into the v. femoralis, dissects it, and introduces a ureteral catheter into its distal end (the author managed to pass, in nonthrombosed vessels with a large lumen, below the knee joint to the lower third of the shin); then through this catheter is introduced, using a 10-20 gm syringe, 20% saline or glucose solution, and the catheter is carefully extracted at this time.
