Non-invasive assessment of extracranial-intracranial bypass grafts using advanced ultrasound technology.

چکیده
There have been significant developments in ultrasound technology in the last few years which have resulted in an increase in the clinical value of this technique. An illustrative case is presented of how ultrasound technology has been used in the intraoperative and postoperative period to evaluate graft patency and function in patients undergoing extracranial-intracranial bypass graft surgery.

Non-invasive evaluation of patients with extracranial to intracranial bypass.
In selected patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency, an extracranial-intracranial bypass is indicated to increase cerebral blood flow. To assess the effect of this operation upon routine non-invasive testing, 15 patients had oculoplethysmography, carotid phonoangiography and Doppler testing. None of those with a preoperative abnormality were changed after surgery, despite angiographically p...
متن کاملExtracranial-intracranial bypass grafts.
An extracranial-intracranial bypass graft was established in 16 dogs. The graft was routed deep in the lateral pharyngeal space as opposed to the subcutaneous course in front of the ear, which may be hazardous. Of 10 common carotid-middle cerebral arterial bypass grafts three were still patent four and a half, six, and 11 months postoperatively. The remaining seven arterial and six venous bypas...
متن کاملComparative patency between intracranial arterial pedicle and vein bypass surgery.
BACKGROUND Long-term patency of extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) vein bypass is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE We report our experience of patency of arterial pedicle grafts and interposition vein grafts for the purpose of EC-IC bypass. METHODS We analyzed 294 consecutive patients who underwent 178 intracranial arterial pedicle bypass procedures and 152 intracranial vein bypass procedures...
متن کامل[Non-invasive assessment of coronary artery bypass grafts by computed tomography: comparison with conventional coronary angiography].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Although it has been demonstrated that the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography in the non-invasive assessment of major epicardial coronary arteries is high, only a few studies have evaluated the technique's reliability in assessing coronary artery bypass grafts. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography...
متن کاملBypass surgery for complex brain aneurysms: an assessment of intracranial-intracranial bypass.
OBJECTIVE Bypass surgery for brain aneurysms is evolving from extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) to intracranial-intracranial (IC-IC) bypasses that reanastomose parent arteries, revascularize efferent branches with in situ donor arteries or reimplantation, and reconstruct bifurcated anatomy with grafts that are entirely intracranial. We compared results with these newer IC-IC bypasses to convent...
