Endoscopic radial artery harvesting: our initial experience and results of the first 25 patients.
BACKGROUND The radial artery has become an increasingly popular arterial conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the traditional open harvesting technique requires a long incision, and is therefore associated with some wound complications and cosmetic problems. Here, we describe our experience of endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) through a small incision in 25 pati...
متن کامل[Radial artery harvesting technique without hemostatic clips and clinical experience].
OBJECTIVE The various techniques of radial artery (RA) harvesting produce similar results. These techniques use electrocautery, ultrasonic scalpel, or sharp scissors in different combinations, but usually associated with the use of hemostatic clips. We describe a RA harvesting technique with the combination of sharp scissors and electrocautery without the use of hemostatic clips. METHODS We d...
متن کاملEndoscopic radial artery harvesting procedure for coronary artery bypass grafting.
Development and adoption of endoscopic minimally invasive saphenous vein harvesting prompted its application to the radial artery in an effort to minimize surgical trauma. Recently, we reported that endoscopic radial artery harvesting was associated with better wound appearance and it proved to be safe and effective, with less pain and fewer wound complications than the open surgical technique....
متن کاملEndoscopic radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting. A single center evolving experience.
AIM We sought to evaluate our experience with endoscopic radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS From October 2005 to June 2010, 50 patients who underwent endoscopic radial artery harvesting for an elective CABG were prospectively assessed for harvesting characteristics, complications, postoperative and mid-term outcomes. RESULTS There were 34 (68%) male...
متن کاملDivision of the brachioradialis muscle: a modification of the current technique in endoscopic radial artery harvesting.
BACKGROUND Utilization of the radial artery as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting has increased significantly over the past 8 years. Concurrently, minimally invasive surgical techniques have been increasingly applied resulting in improved aesthetics, less pain, and decreased morbidity and length of hospital stay. Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) has been shown to be of bene...
