Radial artery graft vasospasm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an unusual case of vasospasm of a grafted radial artery complicated with ventricular fibrillation during the postoperative course of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. To our knowledge this is the first documented case of a radial artery graft spasm leading to a severe arrhythmia. The arrhythmia resolved spontaneously. Radial artery graft spasm was demonstrated by angiography and was successfully resolved by intravenous nitroglycerin administration.

Temperature-induced contraction in human radial artery smooth muscle
In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), vasospasm of arterial conduits is a significant clinical problem. Unlike the internal mammary artery, the radial artery (RA) is stored in theatre before grafting. Storage induces temperature shocks upon the RA, both following the initial isolation and upon the return of the graft to body temperature. We have studied the effect of temperature changes in...
متن کاملThe Impact of Diabetic Status on Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patency Insights From the Radial Artery Patency Study
Background—Despite worse outcomes in diabetics after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, studies have not examined graft patency in this high-risk group. This study examined the impact of diabetes on graft patency, 1-year postcoronary artery bypass grafting, using data from a multicenter randomized trial. Methods and Results—The Radial Artery Patency Study enrolled 561 patients undergoing ...
متن کاملA comparative study on in vitro and in vivo effects of topical vasodilators in human internal mammary, radial artery and great saphenous vein.
OBJECTIVE As an important prognostic factor of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), graft vasospasm can be observed in all currently used graft conduits. Radial artery (RA) vasospasm is more prone to occur in comparisons with internal mammary artery (IMA) and great saphenous vein (GSV). There is still controversy about which antispasmodic agent is superior to different grafts, especially to ...
متن کاملRadial artery conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting: current perspective.
250 The Journal of Thoracic and Cardio T otal arterial revascularization offers the potential to avoid the problems associated with vein graft failure. Bilateral internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) are the conduits of first choice because of excellent shortand long-term patency and the possibility of improved survival. The radial artery (RA) is easily harvested, versatile, has excellent handling ...
متن کاملPotent vasodilatory effect of fasudil on radial artery graft in coronary artery bypass operations.
BACKGROUND The radial artery (RA) is a useful conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) but is susceptible to vasospasm during harvesting. We evaluated the usefulness of fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, in dilating the RA graft and increasing graft free flow (GFF) compared with the conventional graft-dilating agents papaverine and verapamil-nitroglycerin (VG). METHODS Between June 20...
