Comparison of long-term results of above-the-knee femoro-popliteal bypass with autogenous vein and polytetrafluoroethylene grafts
PURPOSE To analyze the long-term results of above-the-knee femoro-popliteal bypass (ATKFPB) with vein grafts compared with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts. METHODS A database of patients with chronic atherosclerotic occlusive disease who underwent ATKFPB was retrospectively reviewed. Characteristics of patient and arterial lesion, and follow-up results were compared between vein grafts ...
متن کاملEffect of thromboxane synthetase inhibition on canine autogenous vein grafts.
This study examined the effect of an orally active thromboxane (TXA2) synthetase inhibitor (TSI) on the patency, TXA2 production, and platelet accumulation of reversed autogenous vein grafts. Ten dogs received TSI (U-63557A) 10 mg/kg po q8 hr for 6 weeks, beginning 24 hr prior to surgery, while 15 control dogs were untreated. One jugular vein was harvested and stored in 37 degrees C saline for ...
متن کاملMorphologic changes in long-term saphenous vein bypass grafts.
A retrospective autopsy study was performed in 56 patients who had undergone saphenous vein bypass graft (SVBG) surgery 12 to 168 months prior to death. Twenty-five grafts had atherosclerosis, 66 grafts had fibrointimal proliferation, and 26 grafts were fibrotic with total occlusion. No significant differences were noted among the three morphologic groups with regard to age of the patient or nu...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...
متن کاملLong-term results of femoral vein transposition for autogenous arteriovenous hemodialysis access.
INTRODUCTION When all access options in the upper limbs have been exhausted, an autogenous access in lower limb is a valuable alternative to arteriovenous grafts. We report our experience of transposition of the femoral vein (tFV). METHODS From June 1984 to June 2011, 70 patients underwent 72 tFV in two centers (Paris and Meknès) with the same technique. All patients had exhausted upper arm v...
