The role of established and emerging risk factors in peripheral vascular graft occlusion

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2007
Several studies have evaluated the association between established as well as emerging vascular risk factors with peripheral graft occlusion. There is evidence for a link between the risk for graft occlusion and total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The overall effect of smoking shows a 2.35-fold increase

CD8+ T cells induce graft vascular occlusion in a CD40 knockout donor/recipient combination

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2003
It has recently been shown that treatment of animals with antibodies to CD154 (CD40L), allows for prolongation of cardiac allograft survival, but does not inhibit development of graft vasculopathy. CD8(+) T cells have been implicated in this effect. In this study we assess the role of CD40-CD154 interactions and CD40-independent CD8(+) T cells in the ...

Does External Stenting Reduce Porcine Vein‐Graft Occlusion Via an Action on Vascular Nerves?

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2002
Neural reorganization occurs in porcine vein grafts and placement of an external stent reduces graft occlusion.To determine the effect of external stenting on the innervation of porcine vein grafts.Saphenous vein into carotid artery grafting (with and without external stents) was performed in 16 pigs.

Controlled Preoperative Occlusion of an Infected Vascular Graft: A Rational Approach to Treatment

Vascular Surgery, 1982
The presence of infection in a vascular prosthesis usually necessitates its removal. When the graft is still patent collaterals have no time to develop and limb perfusion following its removal cannot be predicted. We present a case in which an infected axillo-femoral graft was gradually occluded over a period of six days using a Silastic loop snare ...

Outcomes of Amplatzer Vascular Plugs for Occlusion of Internal Iliacs during Aortoiliac Aneurysm Stent Grafting

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2008
We report on the outcomes of the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP) for occlusion of the internal iliac artery (IIA) during stent grafting of aortoiliac and isolated common iliac artery aneurysms. We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients treated concomitantly with a single AVP in the IIA and endografting of the degenerative aneurysmal segment. Imaging review

Tailored Double-Barrel Bypass Surgery Using an Occipital Artery Graft for Unstable Intracranial Vascular Occlusive Disease

World Neurosurgery, 2017
This report describes the need for a tailored approach for intracranial vascular occlusive disease and introduces the usefulness of the OA as a donor artery for interposition graft.A 65-year-old male patient suffered from repeated transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Evaluation of multiple vascular reconstructive procedures with synthetic graft occlusions.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 1994
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of multiple vascular reconstructive procedures in the presence of an occluded synthetic graft. Over a four year period seventy-seven occluded synthetic grafts were treated with urokinase and reconstruction. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 1627 days (4 years, 5 1/2 months).

Long-term outcomes using vascular grafts sealed with fragmented autologous adipose tissue for aortoiliac occlusive disease

Journal of Artificial Organs, 2005
The aim of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of fragmented autologous adipose tissue (FAT) grafts for revascularization in aortoiliac occlusive disease. Twenty-seven patients with atherosclerotic aortoiliac occlusive disease underwent surgical treatment using FAT grafts.

Venous and Arterial Bypass Grafts for Difficult Tumors, Aneurysms, and Occlusive Vascular Lesions: Evolution of Surgical Treatment and Improved Graft Results

Neurosurgery, 1999
OBJECTIVE: In the treatment of patients with cranial base tumors, unclippable aneurysms, or medically intractable ischemia, it may be necessary to use high-flow bypass grafts. The indications, surgical techniques and complications are discussed. METHODS: During a 10-year period, 99 saphenous vein grafts and 3 radial artery grafts were performed for 101
