Revascularization of Myocardium Using Splenic Artery

A case of multiple coronary artery aneurysms: Successful revascularization

Introduction: Multiple coronary artery aneurysm is a rare anomaly which could be congenital or acquired. Its complications including sudden cardiac death, clot and distal emboli, rupture and bleeding or fistula. Decision about its management depends on aneurysm conditions and the Patient's clinical situation Case Report: A 55 years old patient with unstable angina and multiple coronary ar...

Implantation of The Splenic Artery into the Myocardium as a Source of Collateral Circulation ‡

The use of a large arterial implant into the myocardium as a source of collateral blood supply was first practiced by Vineberg1 and numerous reports suggesting the utility of the procedure have continued to come from his laboratory."6 Flow measurements have been attempted by Vineberge and by subsequent workers such as Bakst8 and Fuquay9 but these have the disadvantage of requiring an open chest...

Left thoracotomy for reoperations in myocardium revascularization.

OBJECTIVE To describe patient selection criteria, surgical technique and early outcomes in patients undergoing reoperative coronary artery bypass surgery (RECABG) through a left thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS Eight patients with patent grafts to the anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery (four of which had also patent grafts to the right coronary a...

Splenic Artery Aneurysms

[Internal carotid artery revascularization].

Carotid endarterectomy remains the standard revascularization technique for the prevention of ischemic stroke resulting from severe carotid stenosis. Surgery is highly beneficial in patients with a symptomatic stenosis of 70% or greater that is not a total or near-total occlusion. The benefit becomes more diluted in patients with a symptomatic 50-69% stenosis, and surgery has no effect, or even...
