When Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Can Cause Trouble—A Misplacement of Pacemaker Lead Into the Left Ventricle

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Misplacement of pacemakers lead into the left ventricle (LV) is a rare but clinically important complication, often facilitated by unrecognized intracardiac shunts such as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Early recognition is essential to avoid systemic embolization and ensure safe device function.

Effectiveness of the sirolimus-eluting stent in the treatment of patients with a prior history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery [PDF]

, 2004
Objective: Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with an increased rate of subsequent adverse events compared to those without prior CABG. We evaluated the impact of

Extensive Collateral Venous Circulation and Anatomic Remodeling in Chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Chronic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can result in a significant venous outflow obstruction, often prompting the development of extensive compensatory mechanisms to maintain adequate circulation. We report a case of recurrent DVT, presenting with left lower extremity pain and edema. Venography revealed complete occlusion of the left common femoral vein

Targeted Surgical Repair of a Symptomatic Hepatic Artery Aneurysm: Case Insights and Outcomes

Case Reports in Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare but significant vascular lesions associated with high mortality due to rupture, particularly in symptomatic cases. This report highlights the clinical importance of timely intervention and presents a case of surgical management of a true HAA.

MEW/PVA‐MA Hydrogel Vascular Grafts: Enhancing Hemocompatibility and Endothelialization

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2025.
A biomimetic vascular graft combining biofunctionalized PVA‐MA hydrogels with a MEW scaffold is developed for small‐diameter applications. Gel‐MA and Hep‐MA incorporation enhances endothelialization and hemocompatibility, respectively, targeting the acute biological responses.

Growth factors and experimental arterial grafts [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The production of growth factors from several experimental arterial conduits was determined. Methods: We implanted 105 experimental arterial grafts that were 1 cm long in the abdominal aorta of Lewis rats (average weight, 250 g).

The Thigh Saphenous Vein Versus the Calf Saphenous Vein: Searching for the Optimal Conduit for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 3665-3672, December 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The quality of saphenous vein (SV) grafts can vary depending on the site from which they are harvested. However, few studies have compared SV grafts harvested from the thigh with those harvested from the calf to explore which is more appropriate for use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this study, we evaluated the graft

Rare Intraoperative Left Coronary Artery Dissection in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: VA‐ECMO‐Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
We experienced a case of intraoperative coronary artery dissection that became apparent during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. This case demonstrates the successful management of cardiogenic shock secondary to intraoperative left coronary artery dissection using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for beating‐heart coronary artery ...

Successful repair of a popliteal aneurysm with saphenous vein graft in a patient with Marfan syndrome

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin 1 gene (FBN1). This leads to defective elasticity of connective tissue in the arterial wall.

Endoscopic versus Open Saphenous Vein Harvest in Patients Undergoing CABG, an Angiographically Measured Graft Patency Comparison [PDF]

Background: Endoscopic vein harvest (EVH) was introduced in 1996 as an alternative to open vein harvest (OVH) for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries utilizing the saphenous vein.
