Assessment of human long saphenous vein function with minimally invasive harvesting with the Mayo stripper.
BACKGROUND The use of the Mayo Stripper to harvest the long saphenous vein has been shown to improve morbidity from leg wound incisions. It has not been universally accepted because of a perceived increase in injury to the venous conduit. OBJECTIVE To compare the function of undistended autologous long saphenous vein harvested by a Mayo stripper with the traditional 'open' technique in the sa...
متن کاملMajor Leg Wound Complications After Saphenous Vein Harvest for Coronary Revascularization
Background: Major leg wound complications after coronary artery bypass graft procedures are infrequent and few are reported in the litrature.We present our experience in treating 30 patients with major leg wound complications after coronary revascularization procedures. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 2100 bypass procedures with saphenous veingraft performed over a 5-years p...
متن کاملCutaneous Manifestations at Saphenous Vein Harvest Site among Iraqi Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become a common surgical procedure and increasingly done in Iraq. The greater saphenous vein (GSV) is the most veins often used as the conduit and its complications include a variety of cutaneous manifestations. Objective: To report the cutaneous manifestations at the saphenous vein harvesting site in Iraqi patients who undergone CABG. Meth...
متن کاملInsulin sensitivity is preserved despite disrupted endothelial function.
It is well established that endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance go hand in hand. However, it is unclear whether endothelial dysfunction per se is sufficient to impair insulin-mediated glucose uptake. We have previously reported that 4 wk of administration of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 protease inhibitor indinavir to HIV-negative subjects induces endothelial dysfunction....
متن کاملEndoscopic vein harvest of the lesser saphenous vein in the supine position: a unique approach to an old problem.
OBJECTIVES To obtain a suitable conduit from the lesser (short) saphenous system for use in coronary artery bypass surgery. We wanted to perform this while the patient was in the supine position as to not disrupt the standard operation, and at the same time, utilizing the endoscopic vein harvest technique with its obvious abilities to decrease vein harvest morbidity. We also theorized that thro...
