A multipurpose arterial graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting.
A multipurpose arterial graft holder designed for use during coronary artery bypass grafting is described. This new holder is atraumatic and holds the arterial grafts and saphenous vein graft securely during anastomosis. The use of this instrument facilitates the use of multiple arterial grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting.
متن کاملA new end graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting.
This article describes the construction and use of a new end graft holder during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The instrument consists of a pinching device attached to a flexible arm and a fixation clamp. This device provides secure stabilization and enables excellent positioning of the graft without producing graft injury.
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 کاملOff-pump coronary artery bypass grafting using skeletonized in situ arterial grafts.
Skeletonization is an advanced technique of graft harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and while it requires meticulous attention, it has many advantages. For example, skeletonization of internal thoracic artery (ITA) can minimize sternal ischemia and lower the risk of mediastinitis, and is longer and larger than pedicled ITA. In this article we describe the surgical technique...
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...
