Experimental Model for Sutureless Proximal Anastomosis by the Viabahn Open Revascularization TEChnique (VORTEC)

چکیده
Introduction In the treatment of complex aneurysms, debranching is an extra-anatomical revascularization of visceral arteries followed by endograft coverage of the thoracoabdominal aorta. It eliminates the need for a thoracotomy and aortic clamping, but requires the performance of several technically demanding visceral anastomosis. In 2008, Lachat described visceral revascularization with the use of a sutureless distal anastomosis, performed by the telescoping of an endograft in the visceral branch, named VORTEC (Viabahn Open Revascularization TEChnique). Objective An experimental model was created to test the feasibility and short term results of performing a telescoped proximal anastomosis to the abdominal aorta. Methods Swine model. The abdominal aorta was dissected and ligated between the renal arteries and the iliac vessels. Three centimeters bellow the renal arteries a Viabahn endograft was telescoped for 2 cm into the proximal aorta. The other extremity was conventionally anastomosed to the distal aorta. Patency, sealing and tensile strength of the anastomosis were tested. Results Time for performing the telescoped anastomosis was shorter (5.4±2.8 min versus 10.3±3.4 min, P<0.05). All grafts were patent and both types of anastomosis presented no bleeding. Immediate tensile strength showed a higher strength of the conventional suture (22.7 x 14.3 N, P<0.09). After 30 days there was no pseudo-aneurysms and the strength of the conventional and VORTEC anastomosis were similar (37.3 x 40.8 N, respectively, P=0.17). Conclusion Telescoped proximal anastomosis by the technique of VORTEC is feasible. After 30 days the tensile strength of the both anastomosis were similar.

New technique to facilitate renal revascularization with use of telescoping self-expanding stent grafts: VORTEC.
This article describes a new, less invasive prosthetic graft anastomotic technique that uses self-expanding stent grafts that are "telescoped" into aortic branches. This method, the VORTEC (Viabahn Open Revascularization TEChnique), obviates the need for potentially difficult complete vessel exposure and graft anastomoses, thereby reducing the duration of flow interruption and simplifying the p...

INTRODUCTION A hybrid Viabahn-assisted bypass (VAB) technique is introduced for revascularizing chronic total occlusion (CTO) in superficial femoral artery (SFA) when bypass surgery is difficult or endovascular intervention fails. REPORT This technique combines extra-arterial flossing wiring with antegrade-retrograde intervention via traditional open exposure of middle SFA and deploying a Via...

A simple technique of choledochojejunostomy in rats is introduced in this paper and its suitability for use is as an experimental model. The healing characteristics of sutureless choledochojejunostomy rat (C-J rat) were investigated in a rat experimental model. The common bile duct of 10 conditioned Wistar rats was exposed, divided transversely and a choledochojejunostomy constructed with only ...

Manipulation of aorta, such as side clamping of the ascending aorta, is known as a possible cause of the increased incidence of perioperative cerebrovascular accidents during myocardial revascularization. We describe an easy and cheap alternative technique for proximal anastomosis of saphenous vein to aorta using a Hegar dilator without clamping in off-pump coronary artery bypass procedures. IN...
