TCTAP C-096 Native Chronic Total Occluded Artery Revascularization in CABG Patient

Staged cerebral revascularization in a patient with an occluded common carotid artery.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We report a management strategy for cerebral revascularization in a patient with an occluded common carotid artery by first performing a subclavian to external carotid artery bypass, followed by superficial temporal artery middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass. METHODS The patient presented with symptomatic left hemispheric hemodynamic insufficiency, associated with o...

Successful sequential drug eluting balloon angioplasty to chronic total occluded popliteal artery in a patient with thromboangitis obliterans by PCR

Thromboangitis obliterans (TAO), also known as Buerger’s disease (BD), is a non-atherosclerotic, segmental, inflammatory, episodic, non-destructive, thrombotic, and occlusive disease of unknown origin compromising small to medium-sized distal arteries, veins, and nerves (1). Intravenous iloprost (2), intermittent pneumatic compression (3), bosentan (4), and cilostazol (5) are used or experiment...

Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusion in Native Coronary Arteries through an Occluded Saphenous Bypass Vein Graft: A Retrograde Alternative Approach

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure secondary to degeneration can cause significant problems after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Repeat revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention can be performed after SVG failure but is often associated with less favourable clinical outcome. Treatment for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of native vessels after SVG failure among patients with...

Total Arterial Revascularization in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations are one of the most commonly performed sur‐ gical procedures, with a worldwide prevalence of over 800,000 annually and more than 350,000 operations being performed in the United States each year [1]. The use of the left internal mam‐ mary artery (LIMA) is widely considered to be the gold standard for conventional CABG opera‐ tions. Its use has been...
