Noninvasive postoperative angiography for internal mammary artery grafts.
Recently, noninvasive imaging modalities such as electron-beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance angiography, and single-slice helical computed tomography (CT) have emerged as ways to visualize the coronary arteries. With regard to internal mammary artery grafts, however, conventional 3D imaging techniques have failed to demonstrate consistently satisfactory performance. We overcame these...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass grafts: ECG-gated multi-detector row CT angiography--influence of image reconstruction interval on graft visibility.
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of different reconstruction intervals of retrospectively electrocardiographically (ECG)-gated multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography on image quality of different segments of various types of coronary artery bypass grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty consecutive patients with 62 grafts underwent retrospectively ECG-gated four-channel multi-...
متن کاملComparison of non-gated vs. electrocardiogram-gated 64-detector-row computed tomography for integrated electroanatomic mapping in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation.
AIMS To compare non-gated vs. electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated 64-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) of the left atrium (LA) for integrated electroanatomic mapping (EAM) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-nine consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF underwent MDCT prior to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). All patients were in sinus rhythm both du...
متن کاملAir vent of vein graft in extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery.
Revascularization with a vein graft is a mandatory method for treatment of dissecting or pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid artery. We report the necessity for an air vent from the vein graft and explain its use in our two cases. In Case 1, we searched for a great saphenous vein around its junction with a femoral vein during the harvest of vein graft. An accessory branch of that great saph...
متن کاملComparison of therapeutic results of large saphenous vein resection with conventional methods and standard bridging
Background: The use of the traditional method for saphenous vein harvesting is associated with wound complications and not on-time patient mobilization. This has caused the improvement of minimally invasive vein harvesting techniques, together with general bridging. This study was designed to compare the therapeutic results of...
