Background: This study aims to present early and midterm results of vascular reconstruction with saphenous vein panel graft.
Methods: Between August 2014 and August 2017, 11 saphenous vein panel grafts were used for vascular reconstruction in 10 patients. Patient data including age, gender, etiology of the vascular pathology, concomitant injury, site of injury, surgical procedure, additional surgical procedure, and hemodynamic status were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
Impact of aortic cross-clamping time on peripheral nerves: experimental model.

December 2015
Purpose: The present study investigated the correlation between extend aortic cross-clamping time and peripheral nerve injury on rats.
Methods: 24 male, Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups; (a) control group: abdomen was directly closed after reached aorta, and followed by 72 hours, (b) short-term ischaemia-reperfusion group: peripheral nerve ischemia was induced in rats by supraceliac aortic occlusion for 20 min followed by 72 h of reperfusion, (c) long-term ischaemia-reperfusion group: peripheral nerve ischemia was induced for 30 min followed by 72 h of reperfusion. Preoperative and postoperative, electromyography (EMG) recordings were done.
