    AbstractAimTo report a complication in the femoral vein (FV) following stripping of the great saphenous vein (GSV).Case reportWe report an FV laceration after invagination stripping, possibly related to post-thrombotic thickening of a GSV and its mid-thigh perforator (MTP).DiscussionIn patients with a history of ascending thrombophlebitis, duplex ultrasound imaging may identify thickening of GSV and MTP. If invasive therapy is deemed necessary, MTP should be marked preoperatively and ligated separately. However, percutaneous, minimally invasive techniques may be preferred in these patients
