Anastomotic Hemodynamics at the Distal End of Lower Extremity Bypass to Improve Patency
rosthetic arterial grafts constructed from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) have been used for many years as an alternative to autologous vein grafts for lower extremity bypass. When anastomosed above the knee, their performance is similar to that of autologous vein for up to 2 years after operation, thereafter they are associated with a significantly higher failure rate.1 When anastomo...
متن کاملEffect of Proximal Anastomotic Diameter on Venous Bypass Graft Patency in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
BACKGROUND In this study, the relationship between patency of saphenous vein (SV) graft and different sizes of aorta wall punches was investigated during the follow-up period after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We also evaluated the other possible factors affecting SV graft patency. METHODS This study consisted of 266 consecutive and symptomatic patients with postoperative angiography...
متن کاملOff-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Is Associated With Worse Arterial and Saphenous Vein Graft Patency and Less Effective Revascularization
Background—The Department of Veterans Affairs Randomized On/Off Bypass (ROOBY) trial compared clinical and angiographic outcomes in off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery to ascertain the relative efficacy of the 2 techniques. Methods and Results—From February 2002 to May 2007, the ROOBY trial randomized 2203 patients to off-pump versus on-pump CABG. Follow-up angio...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass graft patency and competitive flow.
ver since the observation by Loop et al. (1) that internal horacic arteries (ITA) are more effective coronary artery ypass grafts than saphenous veins in prolonging patient urvival and preventing recurrent ischemic events, cardiohoracic surgeons have tried to improve the results of urgical revascularization by using other arteries as bypass onduits, such as the gastroepiploic, radial, and infer...
متن کاملAortic distensibility and coronary artery bypass graft patency
BACKGROUND Aortic distensibility is an elasticity index of the aorta, and reflects aortic stiffness. Coronary artery disease has been found to be substantially associated with increased aortic stiffness. In this study we aimed to retrospectively analyze the association of angiographically determined aortic distensibility with the patency rates of coronary bypass grafts METHODS The study was c...
