Theoretical approach on vein graft survival: simulation on vein graft
Artery reconstruction in upper extremities is rare performed compared to artery reconstruction in lower extremities. Primary vascular repair was performed in many cases. An interposition vein graft or venous bypass grafting were applied in order to alleviate thrombus in blood vessel. However, one or more of the applied vein graft are blocked or severely narrowed due to the mismatched internal d...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal Approach for Lower Extremity Arteriovenous Graft as Long-Term Vascular Access in a Complex Case
A 76-year-old woman with stage 5 chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis had a long history of hypertension and diabetes. Her venous access was exhausted because of several previous access procedures including autogenous arteriovenous fistula operations and central venous catheter placements. After evaluating the function of her vessels when she was transferred to Renji hospital, we creat...
متن کاملEarly loss of thrombomodulin expression impairs vein graft thromboresistance: implications for vein graft failure.
Thrombosis is the major cause of early vein graft failure. Our aim was to determine whether alterations in the expression of the anticoagulant proteins, thrombomodulin (TM) and the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR), impair endothelial thromboresistance that may contribute to vein graft failure. Immunohistochemical staining of autologous rabbit vein graft sections revealed that the expr...
متن کاملSaphenous Vein Sparing Superficial Inguinal Dissection in Lower Extremity Melanoma
Aim. The classic inguinal lymph node dissection is the main step for the regional control of the lower extremity melanoma, but this surgical procedure is associated with significant postoperative morbidity. The permanent lymphedema is the most devastating long-term complication leading to a significant decrease in the patient's quality of life. In this study we present our experience with modif...
متن کاملDiagnosis of lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis in outpatients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prompt identification of outpatients who may have proximal lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (PDVT) is important, in part, because of the risk of pulmonary embolism. The purposes of our study were to determine the degree of accuracy of physical therapists' estimates of the probability of PDVT in hypothetical patient vignettes and to determine whether physical therapist...
