Article Synopsis
  • A case of arterial bypass surgery was performed due to severe narrowing (stenosis) of the ulnar artery and superficial palmar arch in a patient.
  • The surgery utilized the great saphenous vein for the bypass, and post-op results showed improved blood flow and relief from pain in the patient's fingers.
  • Follow-up imaging confirmed good blood flow in the treated areas, and it was noted that spasm, along with the existing stenosis, contributed to the patient's issues, highlighting the effectiveness of the revascularization procedure.

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Armed Forces Capital Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.

Purpose: Vascular injuries require immediate surgical treatment with standard vascular techniques. We aimed to identify pitfalls in vascular surgery for trauma team optimization and to suggest recommendations for trauma and vascular surgeons.

Methods: We reviewed 28 victims and analyzed the patterns of injuries, methods of repair, and outcomes.

Choosing appropriate bypass conduits is important in the consideration of long-term outcomes after surgical revascularization. When deciding on a grafting strategy, attention should be given to technical, anatomic, and angiographic determinants of conduit properties, as well as the clinical characteristics of the patient. The aim of the study was to present a current review of available choices of conduits in coronary artery bypass surgery.

Unlabelled: Patients with symptomatic or malignant anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (AAORCA) warrant surgical treatment to decrease morbidity and mortality. Various surgical techniques have been implemented including unroofing, reimplantation and bypass grafting. A 43-year-old woman presented with intermittent chest pain due to malignant AAORCA and received saphenous bypass grafting, instead of reimplantation, due to intraoperative spasm.

No-Touch Saphenous Vein - Vascular Damage and the London Connection.

Braz J Cardiovasc Surg

September 2022

Surgical and Interventional Sciences, Royal Free Hospital Campus, University College Medical School, London, United Kingdom. Department of Cardiac Surgery, Bristol Heart Institute, Bristol University, Bristol, United Kingdom.

In this review, I summarise the circumstances leading to the collaboration between London and Örebro on the basic research performed to study potential mechanisms underlying the improved patency of saphenous veins harvested by the no-touch technique. Histological studies reveal various forms of vascular damage to saphenous vein grafts harvested in conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) whereas no-touch grafts retain a normal architecture. The perivascular fat that remains intact on no-touch saphenous vein grafts seems to play a particularly important role as the "protector" of all layers of the graft.
