In anatomy, the saphenous opening (saphenous hiatus, also fossa ovalis) is an oval opening in the upper mid part of the fascia lata of the thigh. It lies 3–4 cm below and to the side of the pubic tubercle and is about 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide.

Structure

Below the pubic tubercle the fascia extends downwards forming an arched (falciform) margin of the lateral boundary of the opening. It is covered by a thin perforated part of the superficial fascia called the fascia cribrosa which is (pierced by the great saphenous vein, the 3 superficial branches of the femoral artery, and lymphatics).

It transmits the great saphenous vein and other smaller vessels including the superficial epigastric artery and superficial external pudendal artery, as well as the femoral branch of the genitofemoral nerve.

The fascia cribrosa, which is pierced by the structures passing through the opening, closes the aperture and must be removed to expose it.

The no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is defined as the lack of adequate myocardial tissue perfusion despite a patent epicardial coronary artery. The incidence of NRP varies between 2-5% of elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and 30% in primary PCI. Clinically, it is an independent predictor

Revascularization with a vein graft is a mandatory method for treatment of dissecting or pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid artery. We report the necessity for an air vent from the vein graft and explain its use in our two cases. In Case 1, we searched for a great saphenous vein around its junc

… The suppressive effects of intra-arterial injection of bradykinin on jaw-opening reflex elicited by electrical stimulation of tooth pulp were investigated in lightly anesthetized rats. … A thin polyethylene tube was inserted 5-6 mm into the saphenous artery in opposite direction of blood flow, and bradykinin solutions were injected into the artery at a constant flow rate (0.1-0.8 μg/sec) by a perista pump (SJ-1211, ATTO). …
