Some reports of coronary bypass spasm recently published in the literature aroused skepticism and discussions. Our own doubts were shared by many who have been doing coronary bypass angiography without ever finding such spasms. However, we report a case of a 45-year-old woman with spasm of a vein graft inadvertently induced by catheter manipulation.

Achieving room air quality of room class Ib in the aseptic area using a mobile sterile ventilation unit in a room class II surgical unit.
GMS Hyg Infect Control
December 2024
Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, University Medicine Greifswald, Germany.
Introduction: Room air class (RC) Ib may be necessary for surgical procedures in aseptic working areas. The aim of the study was to examine whether a mobile, three-stage sterile ventilation unit (MSVU) can replace a room ventilation system (RVS) with turbulent mixed flow (TMF) in the area of the operating field and on the instrument table from hygienic-microbiological point of view.
Method: During 26 surgeries (varicose vein stripping or treatment of umbilical and inguinal hernias), the microbial load was recorded at 4 measuring points (M1-M4) during regular operations by setting up sedimentation plates and measuring the particle concentration.
Successful Ex Situ Reduction During Hypothermic Oxygenated Machine Perfusion in a Severely Steatotic Graft From a Donor After Brain Death: An Anecdote?

Marginal liver grafts, such as those from cardiac death donors and donors with steatotic organs, are highly vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition, ex situ graft alteration, either by reduction or splitting, will prolong the static cold storage time and amplify the ischemia-reperfusion injury. Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion has the potential to end the oxygen deprivation during preservation and accordingly improve outcomes in some marginal grafts that have been traditionally discarded.

BACKGROUND We previously reported that the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and donor age are risk factors for small-for-size syndrome in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) involving small grafts. Since April 2021, we have performed splenectomy as a portal inflow modulation in LDLT using small grafts according to the presence of risk factors. In this study, we evaluated the validity of our splenectomy strategies for optimizing graft outcomes.
