Neurological Study of Radial Nerve Conduction During Endoscopic Radial Artery Harvesting:An Intra‐Operative Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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 nerve conduction by means of electroneuromyography (ENM) during harvesting. No pathological changes of nerve conduction were detected at the harvest limb site during surgery and postoperatively, thereby supporting the benefits of the endoscopic approach in terms of neurological outcomes following radial artery procurements with a less invasive approach.

متن کاملIntraoperative radial nerve injury during coronary artery surgery – report of two cases
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve injury and brachial plexopathy are known, though rare complications of coronary artery surgery. The ulnar nerve is most frequently affected, whereas radial nerve lesions are much less common accounting for only 3% of such intraoperative injuries. CASE PRESENTATIONS Two 52- and 50-year-old men underwent coronary artery surgery. On the first postoperative day they bo...
متن کاملEvaluation of sensory nerve conduction velocity testing of the superficial radial nerve.
The purposes of this study were to evaluate the methods for examining the superficial radial nerve and to compare velocities and amplitudes of responses based on electrode shape and placement and site of stimulation. We selected 51 subjects with a mean age of 37 years from a healthy group. Twenty additional subjects with a mean age of 28 were also examined. Nerve conduction was done by stimulat...

متن کاملEndoscopic radial artery harvesting procedure for coronary artery bypass grafting.
Development and adoption of endoscopic minimally invasive saphenous vein harvesting prompted its application to the radial artery in an effort to minimize surgical trauma. Recently, we reported that endoscopic radial artery harvesting was associated with better wound appearance and it proved to be safe and effective, with less pain and fewer wound complications than the open surgical technique....
متن کاملAn improved technique for radial nerve conduction studies.
A technique for recording evoked sensory potentials from the radial nerve has already been reported by us (Downie and Scott, 1964). This technique, although reliable, is time consuming and occasionally difficult and the amplitude of potentials may be as low as 1 to 2 microvolts. The purpose of this communication is to describe a simpler technique by which potentials of greater amplitude can be ...
