چکیده

Management of symptomatic multifocal supra-aortic atherosclerotic disease presents a complex surgical challenge. We describe a novel approach where a temporary extra-corporeal femoro-carotid shunt was used to maintain cerebral perfusion during hybrid surgical and endovascular treatment for tandem supra-aortic lesions.

ارتباط گرفتاری آترواسکلروتیک شرایین محیطی با درگیری پاتولوژیک قوس آئورت در بیماران تحت بای‌پس عروق کرونر قلبی

Background: A correlation between coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerosis of peripheral arteries and the determination of noninvasive indexes for its existence and extent have been sought by many researchers. Some studies report that the intima-media thickness (IMT) of peripheral arteries could play this role. This study evaluated the correlation between the IMTs of common carotid and...

Axillary versus femoral cannulation for aortic surgery: enough evidence for a general recommendation?

There is a trend towards cannulation of the axillary artery for extracorporeal circulation in patients requiring aortic arch surgery. We analyzed the published data comparing axillary and femoral cannulation for safety and outcome. End points were death; stroke, neurologic, and vascular complications; and malperfusion. Femoral cannulation is safe for extracorporeal circulation in patients witho...

Temporary extracorporeal brachio-femoral vascular prosthesis shunt for ischemia prevention in an operation for abdominal aortic and iliac aneurysms in a patient with Marfan's syndrome.

In open vascular repair, when prolonged infrarenal aortic clamping can be expected, and collateral perfusion is reduced, the use of a temporary shunt may reduce the risk of ischemic complications. In a patient with Marfan's syndrome and aortic dissection who had developed infrarenal aneurysms, segmental arteries had been occluded by prior aortic surgery and collateral arteries in the anterior t...

Hypotension caused by extracorporeal circulation: serotonin from pump-activated platelets triggers nitric oxide release.

BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass and hemodialysis often cause hypotension. We investigated a possible role of pump-induced platelet activation with consequent serotonin release. METHODS AND RESULTS In rats, a heparin-coated extracorporeal shunt was placed between the proximal part of a carotid artery and the distal part of a femoral artery. Autoperfusion did not affect platelets or hemodynam...

Usage of external shunt in hybrid approach for aortic arch aneurysm to restore cerebral oxygenation.

A hybrid approach, combining open and endovascular procedures, may be a less invasive substitute to correct aortic arch pathologies in high-risk patients. We describe an 82-year-old male patient with an atherosclerotic aortic arch aneurysm, which was treated with proximal transposition of all arch branches and endovascular aortic arch repair. During the left common carotid artery reconstruction...
