A Comprehensive In Vitro Approach for Assessing the Physiological Degradation of Medical Implants: The Silkothane Arteriovenous Graft Case Study

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Evaluating the degradation of absorbable medical devices in vitro demands physiologically relevant conditions. This study presents a comprehensive framework applied to a three‐layered silk fibroin/polyurethane arteriovenous graft, employing human enzymes at physiological concentrations over 6 months. Multiparametric analyses of both graft structure and

Twenty-Five Years of No-Touch Saphenous Vein Harvesting for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Structural Observations and Impact on Graft Performance [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
The saphenous vein is the most common conduit used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) yet its failure rate is higher compared to arterial grafts. An improvement in saphenous vein graft performance is therefore a major priority in CABG.

A novel technique of tunneled venous conduit retrieval for femoropopliteal artery bypass

Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2020
We would like to report a novel technique in the use of endoscopically retrieved reverse saphenous vein for femoropopliteal bypass grafting. A common mishap encountered while tunneling reversed saphenous vein is avulsion of side branches.
