Endoscopic Radial Artery Harvest in the Presence of a Forearm Scar and a Recurrent Lipoma
نویسنده
چکیده
A 42-year old man with previous history of lipoma excised from the left wrist with recurrence underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using complete arterial revascularization. Left radial artery (non dominant hand) was successfully harvested using endoscopic technique completely avoiding the scar and the lipoma in the patient’s forearm, allowing complete arterial revascularization to be performed.

Neurological Study of Radial Nerve Conduction During Endoscopic Radial Artery Harvesting:An Intra‐Operative Evaluation
Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. We present a case of ERAH in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...
متن کاملPaper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
متن کاملClinically relevant variations in the origin and course of the radial artery
Background: The radial artery is an essential artery supplying the structures in the forearm. Variations in the radial artery concerning its origin, course, branching pattern, and mode of termination have been commonly reported. The high origin of the radial artery from either brachial or axillary artery was detected in numerous studies. Clinically-radial artery is used in cardiac catheterizati...

INTRODUCTION Despite renewed clinical interest in radial artery grafts (RA) for coronary artery bypass grafting, there is a paucity of controlled prospective data on its efficacy. We report on the rate of harvest related complications from a randomized radial artery study. METHODS Two hundred eighty nine patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 received RA grafts (n=154 patients) and Gr...
متن کاملEndoscopic Cauterization of the Sphenopalatine Artery to Control Severe and Recurrent Posterior Epistaxis
Introduction: Epistaxis is one of the most common medical emergencies, making the management of posterior epistaxis a challenging problem for the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon. In the cases of conservative management failure, ligation of the major arteries or percutaneous embolization of the maxillary artery is performed routinely in most units, but rates of failure and complications are ...
