Cross-arterial Repair in Digital Revascularization

Arterial Conduits for Surgical Revascularization

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a commonly performed procedure for obstructive coronary artery disease that is not treatable with either medical therapy or percutaneous intervention. It has been well studied and documented that using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) reduces morbidity and mortality compared with using saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) when performing a CABG.1 O...

LATE ARTERIAL REPAIR FOR LOWER LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE

The objective of this report is to prove that even after development of ischemic necrosis of the muscles and nerves, we can still save the extremity or the knee and even several days after arterial injury, perform arterial repair and other mentioned procedures. Thus we can retain a functionally satisfactory leg or knee joint, which is far better than classic above-knee amputation and utili...

Total arterial revascularization: A superior method of cardiac revascularization.

For over 40 years, the left internal thoracic artery has been used as the gold standard for myocardial revascularization and anastomosis over the left anterior descending artery due to its excellent patency rates. However, the right internal thoracic artery behaves in the same manner as the left, also having excellent long-term patency. Hence, no patient should be deprived of the benefits of to...

Surgical infrainguinal revascularization for peripheral arterial disease: factors affecting patency rate

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...
