Managing coronary artery vein bypass graft stump pseudoaneurysm: a novel approach
Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2012 We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the saphenous vein graft stump, which was managed with percutaneous thrombin injection. Aneurysms of a saphenous vein coronary bypass graft are rare and aneurysms of a bypass graft stump are even rarer.

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.
Small, EarlyView.Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Lipid Tail Length Determines Nano‐Bio Interactions of Peptide Amphiphile Nanostructures
Small, EarlyView.This work demonstrates that self‐assembled peptide amphiphiles (PAs) can disassemble in circulation and reassemble with blood biomolecules. While PAs with short, less hydrophobic lipid modifications mainly bind to albumin, increasing lipid hydrophobicity shifts binding to lipoproteins.

Preparo da veia safena na cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica: uma nova técnica -no touch- que mantém a parede da veia íntegra e proporciona uma alta perviabilidade imediata [PDF]
, 2003 BACKGROUND: The technique of harvesting the saphenous vein (SV) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences the fate of vein grafts. A new no touch (NT) technique of SV preparation was developed where the vein is harvested with a pedicle of ...
