Enabling sutureless vascular bypass grafting with the exovascular sleeve anastomosis

The vascular connector, design of a new device for sutureless vascular anastomosis

BACKGROUND In recent years, several methods and new techniques have been studied and proposed for establishment of sutureless vascular anastomoses, streaming use of sutureless vascular surgery in the future. PRESENTATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS The new vascular connector (NVC) is a hypothetical design of a vascular device, proposed for creation and maintenance of sutureless vascular anastomosis. Im...

Refractory Vascular Spasm Associated with Coronary Bypass Grafting

Diffuse refractory vascular spasms associated with coronary bypass artery grafting (CABG) are rare but devastating. A 42-year-old male patient with a past history of stent insertion was referred for the surgical treatment of a recurrent left main coronary artery disease. A hemodynamic derangement developed during graft harvesting, necessitating a hurried initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CP...

Experimental study of sutureless vascular anastomosis with use of glued prosthesis in rabbits

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to explore the feasibility and efficacy of a new technique for sutureless vascular anastomosis, using glued prosthesis, as a sole anastomosis fixation method in rabbits. METHODS Ten rabbits were randomly selected to conduct the experiment. Five rabbits underwent direct anastomosis of infrarenal abdominal aorta, with glued prosthesis. In five other rabb...

Coronary artery bypass grafting in Takayasu’s disease – importance of the proximal anastomosis: a case report

INTRODUCTION Treatment of coronary artery involvement in Takayasu's arteritis is challenging. Coronary artery bypass grafting may be required. The use of saphenous vein grafts is recommended because of possible inflammatory involvement of the internal thoracic arteries. However, inserting the proximal anastomosis on inflamed aortic tissue may give rise to stenosis. Only a few cases of inserting...
