Interprofessional veno-veno bypass simulation improved team confidence.

Background: Rarely performed procedures can cause stress and communication challenges in emergency situations. A simulation was developed to practice and improve team performance and procedural workflow when it has been determined that a liver transplant patient will need veno-veno bypass. The scenario involved a patient predetermined to need veno-veno bypass to allow team members to practice procedural workflow and communication.

Indocyanine Green Lymphographic Evidence of Surgical Efficacy Following Microsurgical and Supermicrosurgical Lymphedema Reconstructions.

 Microsurgical vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) and supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) are increasingly performed to treat lymphedema. The surgical outcome is commonly assessed by volume-based measurement (VBM), a method that is not consistently reliable. We describe indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography as an alternative postoperative tracking modality after lymphatic reconstruction with VLNT and LVA.
