Abstract P29. Early Experience Using Anastomotic Couplers in Digital Replantation and Revascularization

چکیده
PURPOSE: The most feared complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is periprosthetic infection (1–5% of cases) which leads to prosthetic failure and may result in knee fusion or even limb loss. The optimal role of a plastic surgeon in salvaging a compromised TKA remains unclear. We sought to elucidate factors associated with TKA salvage and principles of reconstruction that optimize outcomes.

Early patency evaluation of new distal anastomotic device in internal mammary artery grafts using computed tomography angiography.
INTRODUCTION : Traditional coronary artery bypass grafting is performed using a hand sewn technique. The C-Port xA and Flex A anastomotic stapling devices (Cardica Inc., Redwood City, CA) were cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for use in distal coronary anastomoses in November 2006 and April 2007, respectively. They provide the ability to create a compliant, consistently reproducible,...
متن کاملIntegrating coronary anastomotic connectors and robotics toward a totally endoscopic beating heart approach: review of 120 cases.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic coronary bypass has been a difficult procedure to perform. The recent introduction of the Intuitive EndoWrist stabilizer (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) has facilitated this procedure robotically on the beating heart. The addition of anastomotic connectors allows a significant improvement in the execution of this technically demanding procedure. We report on our first ...
متن کاملEarly Non-Invasive Angiographic Results of the “Button Inside” Technique for the Reattachment of Coronary Arteries in the Aortic Root Replacement
Background and Aim: The Button technique was the operative technique generally used for the reimplantation of coronary arteries in the aortic root replacement because of reduced anastomotic complications respect to the original wrapped operation described by Bentall and De Bono. The “Button Inside” technique is a modified Button technique recently performed in all consecutive series of patients...
متن کاملExposure of a Microvascular Anastomotic Coupler in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Case Report
OBJECTIVE We present a case of exposure of a microvascular anastomotic coupler. METHODS We performed venous anastomoses using microvascular anastomotic couplers in head and neck reconstruction. RESULTS A microvascular anastomotic coupler was exposed in the seventh month postoperation, and an anastomosed vein was disrupted. CONCLUSIONS Although the usefulness of the microvascular anastomot...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass with the use of a magnetic distal anastomotic device: surgical technique and preliminary experience.
BACKGROUND At present there is little reported experience in the application of new technology in the performance of distal coronary anastomoses in the clinical setting. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of using the Ventrica magnetic vascular positioner (MVP) device for left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary anastomosis. METHODS We ...
