Proposition of quantitative parameters for pre- and early post-operative assessment in pulmonary thromboendarterectomy - An Indian prospective study.

Introduction: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension results from the incomplete resolution of the vascular obstruction associated with pulmonary embolism. Symptoms are exertional dyspnoea and fatigue, and over a period of time, right ventricular dysfunction sets in. Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is an effective surgical remedy for this condition.

Individual Versus Sequential Saphenous Vein Grafts for on-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - Does Smaller Coronaries in Indians Affect Graft Choice? - A Mid-Term Patency Comparison Study.

Purpose: Although multiarterial grafting or bilateral mammary artery use is being increasingly emphasized for contemporary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) practice, saphenous vein graft (SVG) still accounts for 80% of all CABG conduits (Park et al., 2020) [1]. In India, both the individual and sequential saphenous grafting techniques are used arbitrarily, and there has not been a study that compares the mid-term patency of these two.

Saccular aneurysm of external jugular vein with partial thrombosis.

Venous aneurysms are uncommon clinical entities. Venous aneurysms involving the head and neck region are distinctly uncommon, and a saccular aneurysm of the external jugular vein with thrombus is extremely rare. We present a case of saccular aneurysm of the external jugular vein with partial thrombosis in a 30-year-old woman, which was diagnosed on duplex ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and treated by surgical excision.

Innovative use of contegra valved conduit in left iliocaval stent thrombosis.

Thrombosis of an iliofemoral vein accounts for 25% of all lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (PE), limb malperfusion, and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Endothelial injury, hypercoagulability and stasis constitute Virchow's triad of thrombogenesis. Common predisposing conditions include the postoperative state, prolonged immobility (e.

Giant congenital intercostal arteriovenous malformation with extensive involvement of chest wall and ribs: surgical experience.

Intercostal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions. Review of literature shows that most reported cases are secondary to trauma or iatrogenic in origin. Congenital intercostal AVMs are extremely rare.
