Predictors of Time to Graft Failure Following Infrainguinal Arterial Reconstruction
Infrainguinal arterial reconstruction increases limb salvage rates, however, the factors that predict time to graft failure remain ill-defined. The aim of this study was to define such predictors. A retrospective analysis of infrainguinal arterial reconstructions performed for symptomatic peripheral arterial disease refractory to medical/interventional therapies over a 6 year period was perform...
متن کاملSurgical infrainguinal revascularization for peripheral arterial disease: factors affecting patency rate
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...
متن کاملTissue Engineering: A Biological Solution for Tissue Damage, Loss or End Stage Organ Failure
In recent years the science of tissue engineering has emerged as a powerful tool for the development of a novel set of tissue replacement parts and technologies. Recent advances in the fields of biomaterials, stem cell technologies, growth factor field and biomimetics have created a unique set of opportunities for investigators to fabricate lab-grown tissues from combination of extracellular ma...
متن کاملEarly loss of thrombomodulin expression impairs vein graft thromboresistance: implications for vein graft failure.
Thrombosis is the major cause of early vein graft failure. Our aim was to determine whether alterations in the expression of the anticoagulant proteins, thrombomodulin (TM) and the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR), impair endothelial thromboresistance that may contribute to vein graft failure. Immunohistochemical staining of autologous rabbit vein graft sections revealed that the expr...
متن کاملArterial allograft allows in-line reconstruction of prosthetic graft infection with low recurrence rate and mortality.
Surgical management of infected prosthetic vascular grafts is associated with a significant risk of recurrent infection, limb loss, and mortality. Treatment options include graft excision with extra-anatomic bypass and in-line repair with prosthetic graft, vein, or artery. We hypothesized that in-line reconstruction using cryopreserved arterial allografts would be associated with a lower recurr...
