Progressive and late obstruction of an aorto-coronary venous bypass graft.

چکیده
Progressive late obstruction of an aorto-coronary venous bypass graft is reported in a 44-year-old man who died of bi-ventricular failure 114 days after surgery. The first portion of the vein graft had a residual lumen of one mm. Histology showed marked intimal fibrosis. Mechanism for this occlusion and fibrosis is unclear. This representsc the first documented case of late obstruction of an aorto-coronary bypass graft with angiographic evidence of early postoperative patency.

متن کاملComparison of the Graft Angles Effects on the Temporal Wall Shear Stress Gradients in the Aorto-Coronary and Coronary-Coronary Bypasses
In this theoretical study, the effect of various types of bypass graft angles on the flow field, has been investigated specially on the temporal Wall Shear Stress (WSS) on the toe, heel and some locations on the bed of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery at the anastomoses areas in the Aorto-Coronary (AC) and Coronary-Coronary (CC) bypasses. Flow fields in both bypasses with angles of...
متن کاملManagement of Catheter Induced Upper Limb Suppurative Thrombophlebitis in a Patient after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: a Case Report
Introduction: One of the important complications of peripheral venous catheters is suppurative thrombophlebitis that would be life threatening without treatment. In this report, we introduce a patient who developed purulent thrombophlebitis due to venous catheter in the upper limb after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Multiple abscess formation was developed on her upper limb after the th...
متن کاملThe increase of plasminogen activator inhibitor activity is associated with graft occlusion in patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass surgery.
Early graft occlusion is a common complication in patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass surgery. Both mechanical and haemostatic factors play a role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic occlusion. Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between fibrinolytic activity and venous or arterial thrombosis. We undertook this study to evaluate the possible contribution of the fibrinolytic sys...
متن کاملThe comparison of the efficacy of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and progressive counting on anxiety, depression, and stress in patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Progressive Counting (PC) on anxiety, stress, and depression in patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). A quasi-experimental design was used to analyze the data which included a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The statistical population included all patie...
