Dexmedetomidine does not produce vasocontraction on human isolated gastroepiploic artery
BACKGROUND Recently, the addition of dexmedetomidine to sedation regimens after cardiac surgery had been reported and there is a possibility that dexmedetomidine can cause vasoconstriction. Vasopressin has been used as a prophylactic treatment for refractory vasodilatory shock during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Also, vasopressin may play an important role in initiating spasms at the gr...
متن کاملHuman gastroepiploic artery has greater chymase activity than the internal thoracic artery.
OBJECTIVE Recent reports have demonstrated that long-term patency of the gastroepiploic artery (GEA) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is less satisfactory compared with the internal thoracic artery (ITA). However, the reason has not been fully elucidated. Angiotensin II is known to play an important role in the development of intimal hyperplasia, we hypothesized that the GEA is differe...
متن کاملSkeletonized gastroepiploic artery for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Skeletonized arterial grafting may reduce the risk of graft spasm and may improve graft patency. Previously we reported a pilot study of skeletonized gastroepiploic artery (GEA) grafting with favorable results. Skeletonized GEA harvesting with an ultrasonic scalpel has now become our routine procedure. In this report, we compare the early clinical outcomes of skeletonized versus pedi...
متن کاملRuptured gastroepiploic artery aneurysm: A case report
INTRODUCTION Gastroepiploic artery aneurysms are extremely rare, with few reported cases in the literature. The risk of rupture however, is high and thus warrants attention. PRESENTATION OF CASE Here we present a rare case of a women who presented to the emergency department in shock and was found to have a ruptured gastroepiploic artery aneurysm during surgical exploration. Suture ligation o...
متن کاملGastroepiploic artery graft in coronary artery bypass grafting.
The right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been recognized as a suitable and reliable conduit for coronary bypass surgery. From a sizable number of experiences, we know the use of this artery does not increase surgical risk, and no gastric ischemia nor abdominal complications occur with takedown of the GEA. This artery undergoes less significant arteriosclerosis and demonstrates physiological ad...
