OBJECTIVE Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting may result in fewer myocardial and vascular complications than on-pump. Although differences in aortic manipulations likely play a role, the systemic responses of endothelial progenitor cells to both types of operations have not been examined. We sought to examine endothelial progenitor cell characteristics after off-pump versus on-pump coronar...

We reported a patient with Buerger's disease who presented with critical limb ischemiawith prior recurrent occlusions after multiple surgical and endovascular treatments. Total occlusion of the whole native femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arteries was observed. The femoropopliteal bypass graft, as well as a stent that was implanted in the mid-popliteal artery, were also occluded. Because of ...

Despite the improvement of endovascular technologies , method choice for multi-vascular lesions coronary arteries today remains bypass surgery . However in a range patients it is possible to perform hybrid revascularization – technique with minimal injury that preserves good long-term results similar those The review analyzes current data from world literature and trends

Diabetes is associated with increased risk for complications following coronary bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Augmented superoxide (*O2*) production plays an important role in diabetic complications by causing vascular dysfunction. The potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) is also elevated in diabetes and following CABG; however, the effect of ET-1 on *O2* generation and/or vascular dysf...

conclusions major vascular injuries in our center occurred in young men, frequently because of stab wounds. popliteal injuries mostly caused by motor vehicle accidents was the second most common arterial injury, followed by combined ulnar and radial injuries. vascular reconstruction in the first hours after trauma may prevent many unnecessary and preventable amputation procedures. results most ...

In this study we reported one case of combined procedure for coronary artery bypass grafting and excision of right pulmonary hydatid cyst. Concerns of possible hydatid systemic dissemination as a result of direct vascular breaches are raised. We suggest that avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) if that possible is beneficial for the treatment. If not possible then the excision and clearanc...

INTRODUCTION In vascular surgery the crossover iliofemoral bypass grafting is a well-known surgical technique. In general surgery the repair of an abdominal defect using a Polypropylene mesh is also a standard procedure. A particular technique is defined by the performance of these 2 separate procedures inside a single operation in which the crossover arterial graft is directed from the retrope...

postoperative vasoplegic syndrome (vs) is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance, normal or elevated cardiac output, and poor response to volume expansion. the incidence of vs after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass is about 20%. sometimes, vs becomes refractory and initial treatments do not work, rendering treatment a great challenge. in this study, we describe a youn...
