Gastroepiploic artery coronary bypass graft: non-invasive patency evaluation using color and duplex Doppler ultrasonography.
OBJECTIVE Color and duplex Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography were compared for the evaluation of graft patency of the gastroepiploic artery (GEA). METHODS In 77 observations, ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography were compared. The coronary resistance index (cRI) was defined as the maximal systolic flow velocity minus the maximal diastolic flow velocity, divided ...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of coronary artery bypass graft patency using 16-slice computed tomography angiography
BACKGROUND Invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard means of imaging bypass vessels and carries a small but potentially serious risk of local vascular complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke and death. We evaluated computed tomography as a non-invasive means of assessing graft patency. METHODS Fifty patients with previous coronary artery bypass surgery who were listed...
متن کاملGastroepiploic artery graft in coronary artery bypass grafting.
The right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been recognized as a suitable and reliable conduit for coronary bypass surgery. From a sizable number of experiences, we know the use of this artery does not increase surgical risk, and no gastric ischemia nor abdominal complications occur with takedown of the GEA. This artery undergoes less significant arteriosclerosis and demonstrates physiological ad...
متن کاملPostoperative evaluation of changes in extracranial-intracranial bypass graft using superficial temporal artery duplex ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Extracranial-intracranial (ECIC) bypass grafts have been assessed postoperatively by various neuroradiologic techniques. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate postoperative changes in ECIC bypass graft by using superficial temporal artery duplex ultrasonography (STDU). Furthermore, this study assessed the ability of STDU to predict cerebrovascular reserve capa...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass graft patency and competitive flow.
ver since the observation by Loop et al. (1) that internal horacic arteries (ITA) are more effective coronary artery ypass grafts than saphenous veins in prolonging patient urvival and preventing recurrent ischemic events, cardiohoracic surgeons have tried to improve the results of urgical revascularization by using other arteries as bypass onduits, such as the gastroepiploic, radial, and infer...
