N2 - We report a 29-year follow-up of a high-velocity superficial femoral vein injury sustained during the Vietnam War that was treated by emergent ligation. After years of suffering recurrent ulceration from chronic venous insufficiency, this patient underwent axillary vein valve transfer with improvement in his venous hypertension. Long-term follow-up of patients with deep venous injuries is necessary to avoid complications from chronic venous insufficiency.
