Transobturator Bypass Utilizing Fluoroscopic Guidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Transobturator bypass is an older and less frequently performed revascularization of the lower extremity that is useful in the setting of multiple failed lower extremity bypasses usually due to groin sepsis and infection(s). It can be a technically challenging operation due to anatomic constraints. REPORT We describe a successful transobturator bypass utilizing fluoroscopy for passage of bypass tunneler and graft through the obturator foramen. DISCUSSION Live fluoroscopy is a versatile technique and in conjunction with our described surgical technique of lower extremity bypass should help increase the technical success rates of this procedure.

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complicated kidney defect causing permanent failure in renal function in progressive stages. Hemodialysis is the most accepted treatment to maintain body’s fluid/electrolyte homeostasis at the terminal stages of the disease. Permanent hemodialysis catheter (permicath) may be inserted blindly or by fluoroscopic guidance. This study aimed to compare th...

متن کاملPerforation of the descending aorta by the tip of an intra-aortic balloon pump catheter.
Perforation of the proximal descending aorta occurred in a patient on intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support after emergency coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction. The IABP catheter was inserted under fluoroscopic guidance into the right femoral artery without difficulty, but after 8 h on IABP support the patient went into shock with a left hemothorax. Emergency surgery was pe...
متن کاملInadvertent Intrafacet Injection during Lumbar Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection: A Comparison of CT Fluoroscopic and Conventional Fluoroscopic Guidance.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inadvertent intrafacet injection can occur during interlaminar epidural steroid injection, resulting in a false-positive loss of resistance and nontarget injection of medication. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the observed rates of this phenomenon during lumbar interlaminar epidural steroid injection performed by using conventional fluoroscopic and CT fl...
