Intraoperative model to flowmetry measurement from coronary-coronary saphenous vein graft bypass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods We measured intraoperative grafts flowmetry in three patients with important retrograde flow from the coronary arteries throught saphenous vein grafts, verified after distal anastomosis. The surgeries were performed off pump. After the revascularization was completed, in the intraoperative model, we partially clamped the aorta, including both proximal veins anastomosis, and measured the flowmetry from one graft to the other. We verified the flow from vein to vein, with good myocardial perfusion.

OBJECTIVES The techniques of performing coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass are rapidly evolving. However, concern remains regarding the accuracy of coronary artery anastomoses performed on the beating heart. This report reviews the use of intraoperative angiography in the critical appraisal of "off-pump" coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. PATIENTS Intraoperati...

BACKGROUND The nuclear transcriptional factor NFkappaB is reported to play an important role in the expression of genes for neutrophil and macrophage chemotactic factors, adhesion molecules, and cell cycle-regulating proteins. In aortocoronary bypass surgery, the saphenous vein often develops vein graft disease. Here, we investigated whether transfection of a cis element decoy oligodeoxynucleot...
متن کاملAssociation between paraoxonase activity and late saphenous vein graft occlusion in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Coronary vein graft disease is an important contributor to the morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Late occlusion of the graft is a serious complication that limits the use of the saphenous vein as a coronary bypass conduit. It is frequently encountered in old, degenerated vein grafts with advanced atherosclerotic plaque formation. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is an HDL-...
متن کاملCorrelation of platelet survival time with occlusion of saphenous vein aorto-coronary bypass grafts.
Platelet survival time is frequently shortened in patients with coronary artery disease, and it is one of several factors that might contribute to graft occlusion after saphenous vein coronary artery bypass (CAB). In 35 patients with CAB, average platelet survival (autologous labeling with 51Chromium) was shortened in 20 with one or more saphenous vein grafts occluded and normal in 15 with all ...
