Radial artery graft vasospasm.
We report an unusual case of vasospasm of a grafted radial artery complicated with ventricular fibrillation during the postoperative course of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. To our knowledge this is the first documented case of a radial artery graft spasm leading to a severe arrhythmia. The arrhythmia resolved spontaneously. Radial artery graft spasm was demonstrated by angiography and w...
متن کاملSaphenous vein graft vs. radial artery graft searching for the best second coronary artery bypass graft.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was first used in the late 1960s. This revolutionary procedure created hope among ischemic heart disease patients. Multiple conduits are used and the golden standard is the left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending artery. Although all approaches were advocated by doctors, the use of saphenous vein grafts became the leading approach used...
متن کاملTechnical difficulty in stenting Supralimus in radial artery graft.
Woman, 67 years old, with unstable angina and history of myocardial revascularization: left internal thoracic artery to anterior descending artery and graft with radial artery (RA) to right coronary artery branches. Coronariography showed stenosis of 90% in the RA graft, treated with conventional stent. After two months, the patient developed unstable angina related to in-stent restenosis, trea...
متن کاملPotent vasodilatory effect of fasudil on radial artery graft in coronary artery bypass operations.
BACKGROUND The radial artery (RA) is a useful conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) but is susceptible to vasospasm during harvesting. We evaluated the usefulness of fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, in dilating the RA graft and increasing graft free flow (GFF) compared with the conventional graft-dilating agents papaverine and verapamil-nitroglycerin (VG). METHODS Between June 20...
متن کاملSearching for the second-best coronary artery bypass graft: is it the radial artery?
Virtually all cardiac surgeons and their referring cardiologists know that the most effective and reliable coronary artery bypass conduit is the pedicled internal thoracic (mammary) artery (LITA) when placed to the left anterior descending artery coronary artery (LAD). This first choice of bypass graft conduits is based on convincing evidence of improved survival in patients with critical LAD d...
