Intraoperative evaluation of coronary artery bypass graft anastomoses with high-frequency epicardial echocardiography: experimental validation and initial patient studies.
There is currently no accepted approach for intraoperative evaluation of the technical adequacy of coronary artery bypass graft anastomoses. High-frequency epicardial echocardiography performed intraoperatively could assess coronary artery bypass graft anastomoses by providing on-line short-axis (cross-sectional) and longitudinal two-dimensional images of the vessels. To validate measurements o...
متن کاملIntraoperative assessment of coronary artery bypass graft patency.
The patency of the anastomosis and the flow of the graft are the most important subjects for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Graft patency verification is a high demanding procedure. The incidence of intraoperative graft failure has been estimated to be approximately 5% for internal mammary artery grafts and 11% for vein grafts.1-3 These disappointing findings exceedingly require intrao...
متن کاملIntraoperative imaging techniques to assess coronary artery bypass graft patency.
Graft patency verification is increasingly recognized as an important component of coronary artery bypass grafting. Intuitively, eliminating intraoperative graft failure should reduce cardiac mortality and morbidity in the short term and improve clinical outcome in the long term. Although conventional angiography remains the gold standard technique for assessing graft patency, it is rarely avai...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Percutaneous Intervention for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Anastomoses With Paclitaxel-Eluting Balloon Catheters
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) intervention, particularly anastomosis site intervention, is challenging for interventional cardiologists. A paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheter (SeQuent Please) is a recently-introduced device capable of delivering paclitaxel homogeneously into the targeted vessel wall. We herein report our experience with two cases. In the first case, coronary angiography s...
متن کاملDistal end side-to-side anastomoses of sequential vein graft to small target coronary arteries improve intraoperative graft flow
BACKGROUND End-to-side anastomoses to connect the distal end of the great saphenous vein (GSV) to small target coronary arteries are commonly performed in sequential coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the oversize diameter ratio between the GSV and small target vessels at end-to-side anastomoses might induce adverse hemodynamic condition. The purpose of this study was to describe ...
