Vascular Reconstructive Surgery Following Myocardial Revascularization

Reconstructive vascular surgery for intestinal angina.

THE disastrous consequences of infarction of the bowel are well documented. In an accumulated series of 274 patients from seven major centres up to 1975 the mortality averaged 95 per cent.' Baccelli2 in 1918 first described the syndrome of chronic intestinal ischaemia manifested by post-prandial pain. It was not until 1933 that Connor3 and Dunphy4 linked intestinal angina to chronic visceral ar...

Proper speech functioning in human being, depends on the precise coordination and timing balances in a series of complex neuro nuscular movements and actions. Starting from the prime organ of energy source of expelled air from respirato y system; deliver such air to trigger vocal cords; swift changes of this phonatory episode to a comprehensible sound in RESONACE and final coordination of all h...

Impact of incomplete revascularization following OPCAB surgery.

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) results in a single surgical unit, assessing the impact of completeness of revascularization. METHODS Three hundred and twelve patients underwent OPCAB between August 2000 and January 2005. In-hospital data were collected prospectively for all patients u...

Perioperative myocardial infarction in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery

INTRODUCTION Perioperative myocardial infarction adversely affects the prognosis of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft and its diagnosis was hampered by numerous difficulties, because the pathophysiology is different from the traditional instability atherosclerotic and the clinical difficulty to be characterized. OBJECTIVE To identify the frequency of perioperative myocardial in...
