Gastric cancer occurred after coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery.
We recently encountered a rare case where gastric cancer developed in the long-term postoperative stage after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) and distal partial gastrectomy was performed to treat the cancer. The patient was a 64-year-old man. In November 2001, he underwent three-vessel CABG, involving bypassing between the right coronary arter...
متن کاملSkeletonized gastroepiploic artery for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Skeletonized arterial grafting may reduce the risk of graft spasm and may improve graft patency. Previously we reported a pilot study of skeletonized gastroepiploic artery (GEA) grafting with favorable results. Skeletonized GEA harvesting with an ultrasonic scalpel has now become our routine procedure. In this report, we compare the early clinical outcomes of skeletonized versus pedi...
متن کاملComputed tomographic angiography to evaluate the right gastroepiploic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting.
OBJECTIVE The right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) is widely used as an in situ arterial graft for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); however, it is impossible to measure an RGEA or check for calcification or stenosis and assess its suitability as a graft before angiography or harvest. We evaluated the accuracy of preoperative three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3D-CTA) for a...
متن کاملThe Right Gastroepiploic Artery Graft for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A 30-Year Experience
Throughout its 30-year history, the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been useful for in situ grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The early graft patency rate is high, and the late patency rate has improved by using the skeletonized GEA graft and proper target selection, which involves having a target coronary artery with a tight >90% stenosis. Total arterial revascularization...
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...
