Sealing vessels up to 7 mm in diameter solely with ultrasonic technology
INTRODUCTION Ultrasonic energy is a mainstay in the armamentarium of surgeons, providing multifunctionality, precision, and control when dissecting and sealing vessels up to 5 mm in diameter. Historically, the inability to seal vessels in the 5-7 mm range has been perceived as an inherent limitation of ultrasonic technology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sealing of vessels up to 7 m...
متن کاملA 2.5-mm diameter probe for photoacoustic and ultrasonic endoscopy.
We have created a 2.5-mm outer diameter integrated photo-acoustic and ultrasonic mini-probe which can be inserted into a standard video endoscope's instrument channel. A small-diameter focused ultrasonic transducer made of PMN-PT provides adequate signal sensitivity, and enables miniaturization of the probe. Additionally, this new endoscopic probe utilizes the same scanning mirror and micromoto...
متن کاملDirectional coronary atherectomy versus coronary angioplasty in vessels larger than 3 mm in diameter.
It has been proposed that directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) should be an intervention of choice in larger vessels as one can achieve a greater minimal luminal diameter with DCA than with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). This in turn should translate into a higher success rate and may even reduce the restenosis rate. The aim of this study was to compare DCA versus PTCA...
متن کاملDrug-eluting stents appear superior to bare metal stents for vein-graft PCI in vessels up to a stent diameter of 4 mm
BACKGROUND Research trials have shown improved short-term outcome with drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare metal stents (BMS) in saphenous vein graft (SVG) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), primarily by reducing target vessel revascularization (TVR) for in-stent restenosis. We compared the outcomes in patients undergoing SVG stent implantation treated with DES or BMS. In exploratory ana...
متن کاملSealing of Vessels Larger Than 7 Millimeters Using Enseal in Porcine Aorta
BACKGROUND The Enseal (Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Blue Ash, Ohio) tissue-sealing device has proven efficacy for ligation of vessels<7 mm in diameter, even with significant supraphysiologic bursting pressures. We aimed to evaluate the safety of Enseal in porcine vessels>7 mm. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lumbar aortas of pigs that were euthanized for unrelated procedures were harvested. A 5- to 6-cm s...
