Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing a Salvage Procedure for Thrombosed Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Grafts

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Background: The major limitation of arteriovenous graft access is the high incidence of thrombotic occlusion. This study investigated the outcomes of our salvage strategy for thrombosed hemodialysis arteriovenous grafts (including surgical thrombectomy

Recent Strategies to Reduce Vein Graft Occlusion: a Need to Limit the Effect of Vascular Damage

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2002
Despite early identification and aggressive modification of atherosclerotic risk factors, many patients still require surgical revascularisation for established atherosclerotic vascular disease. However, bypass surgery is hampered by a high incidence of vein graft failure.

Vascular replacement using a layered elastin-collagen vascular graft in a porcine model: one week patency versus one month occlusion [PDF]

Organogenesis, 2015
A persistent clinical demand exists for a suitable arterial prosthesis. In this study, a vascular conduit mimicking the native 3-layered artery, and constructed from the extracellular matrix proteins type I collagen and elastin, was evaluated for its performance as a blood vessel equivalent.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

A Novel Anatomical Description of the Normal Terminal Fibular Artery and the Terminal Fibular Window: Radiological Findings and Surgical Implications

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel anatomical description and radiological finding, related to the anatomical course of the terminal fibular artery (FibA) was recently reported. In the article, the authors found the terminal FibA to change its course, from being posterior and medial to the fibula to surface anteriorly and laterally before residing below the tibiofibular

Influence of Peripheral Vascular Occlusive Disease on the Morbidity and Mortality of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Japanese Circulation Journal, 2000
The impact of peripheral vascular occlusive disease (PVD) on outcome for patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was assessed by comparing preoperative and intraoperative patient characteristics and outcome in 2 groups of patients who underwent CABG (patients with PVD, n=96; patients without PVD, n=593).

Five‐year tomographic and clinical evaluation of the socket shield technique: Case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The socket shield technique, one modality of partial extraction therapy, aims to preserve periodontal tissues and maintain the buccal alveolar bone volume following immediate implant placement or in prosthetic pontic sites, by the strategic maintenance of a tooth root fragment.

Killing Two Birds with One Stone: Subclavian Vein Bypass Graft for Relief of Venous Obstruction and Haemodialysis Access

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2012
Subclavian and brachio-cephalic vein stenosis or occlusion occurs, most commonly, as an iatrogenic complication of the placement of central venous catheter. This occurrence can cause ipsilateral arm swelling in a newly-created arteriovenous fistula (AVF).

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...
