Repair is venoplasty. That's done later, after surgery.

Corpse vein grafting is done primarily if the venoplasty doesn't help and the collaterals are insufficient for whatever. It's a little risky and doesn't always take. . . . My collaterals hold up pretty well. I have the option of doing another round of venoplasty if I want. And then we could consider grafting if I really needed it.

I'm too old to be a professional athlete, but I don't think I'd have a problem right now if I was. My collaterals are doing a good job. I've been doing some lifting. I'll try to drive my arm to total failure in a few weeks to see if there is much of a difference. I doubt that I'll notice anything that needs to be improved.
