Epicardial dissection may solve the problem of saphenous vein graft length
نویسنده
چکیده
Saphenous vein graft length may be not enough in some cases in aortocoronary bypass surgery. If the graft length is not enough, cardiac surgeons can use epicardial and fatty dissection to release tightening saphenous vein graft, especially in the right coronary artery fashion.

Injury to a saphenous vein graft during removal of a temporary epicardial pacing wire electrode.
Removal of a temporary atrial epicardial pacemaker electrode damaged a saphenous vein graft. A new blood clot was removed from the damaged graft. The hole was successfully repaired with a polypropylene suture. Pacing wires should be carefully sited and should be removed only when facilities for urgent operation are available.
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...
متن کاملEmbolic Protection Devices in Saphenous Vein Graft and Native Vessel Percutaneous Intervention: A Review
The clinical benefit of percutaneous intervention (PCI) depends on both angiographic success at the site of intervention as well as the restoration of adequate microvascular perfusion. Saphenous vein graft intervention is commonly associated with evidence of distal plaque embolization, which is correlated with worse clinical outcomes. Despite successful epicardial intervention in the acute MI p...

متن کاملDissecting sub-epicardial hematoma--challenges to surgical management.
A 67-year-old man developed a large dissecting sub-epicardial hematoma of his heart following a percutaneous coronary interventional procedure. While undergoing a dilatation of in-stent restenosis of a saphenous vein graft to the diagonal artery, he developed an anastomotic perforation that lead to a large sub-epicardial hematoma that sheared of all the epicardial vessels from the underlying my...
