Femoropopliteal Bypass with Reversed Autogenous Vein

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Autogenous Saphenous Vein Grafts in Femoropopliteal Bypass Procedures

Do autogenous vein grafts provide resistance to graft infection in MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) patients undergoing vascular surgery? This paper presents two MRSA patients, who underwent femoral popliteal bypass procedure with autogenous saphenous vein grafts. Despite prophylactic measures and all necessary care, both patients had graft infections and died as a result of M...

Is completion arteriography mandatory reversed-vein bypass grafting? after

The morphologic alteration and susceptibility to atheromatous degeneration of the IMAG were compared with the ACVG. Six of 12 surviving dogs with IMAGs were fed a hyperlipidemic diet and six were placed on a regular diet. All dogs were sacrificed 3-15...
