In order to develope a new method to overcome the difficulties in anastomosis of blood vessels with different diameter, phleboplasty was utilized at the join-point to expand the diameter of branched vein graft, with a funnel-shaped stoma formed consequently. After successfully experimented in fresh blood vessels in vitro, the method was practised clinically to repair injured arteries in extremities, with the outcome that phleboplasty of branched vein graft could enlarge the diameter by 1-1.25 times, and with satisfied effects in 3 clinic cases. So, the conclusion was that: phleboplasty of branched vein graft was a new effective and convinient method to repair injured arteries with different diameters
