Endogenous automatic nerve discharge promotes nerve repair: an optimized animal model

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2019
Exogenous electrical nerve stimulation has been reported to promote nerve regeneration. Our previous study has suggested that endogenous automatic nerve discharge of the phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve has a positive effect on nerve regeneration at 1

Epicardial Ablation: Prevention of Phrenic Nerve Damage by Pericardial Injection of Saline and the Use of a Steerable Sheath

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
Because of the close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the pericardium, phrenic nerve damage caused by epicardial ablation can easily occur. We report two cases of epicardial VT ablation where pericardial injection of saline, combined with the use of a ...

Phrenic and intercostal nerves with rhythmic discharge can promote early nerve regeneration after brachial plexus repair in rats

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2018
Exogenous discharge can positively promote nerve repair. We, therefore, hypothesized that endogenous discharges may have similar effects. The phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve, controlled by the respiratory center, can emit regular nerve impulses ...

Anatomical observation of phrenic nerve branch variations at the cervicothoracic junction and upper mediastinum: two case reports

open access: yesFolia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: The authors report phrenic nerve branch and communication variations at the cervicothoracic junction and upper mediastinum through adult cadaveric dissection, analyze their local morphological characteristics, and discuss their anatomical ...
