ABSTRACT Reconstruction of complex Achilles tendon defects involving both the tendon and the overlying soft tissues represents a challenging scenario for plastic surgeons. In this report, we present an innovative technique of hybrid total Achilles tendon reconstruction combining acellular dermal matrix placement to restore the full‐thickness continuity

Modified Appleby Procedure with Arterial Reconstruction for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Literature Review and Report of Three Unusual Cases. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic body and tail ductal adenocarcinomas are often diagnosed with local vascular invasion of the celiac axis (CA) and its various branches. With such involvement, these tumors have traditionally been considered unresectable.

Study comparing vein integrity and clinical outcomes in open vein harvesting and 2 types of endoscopic vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting:The VICO randomized clinical trial (vein integrity and clinical outcomes) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Current consensus statements maintain that endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) should be standard care in coronary artery bypass graft surgery, but vein quality and clinical outcomes have been questioned.

Implementation of a graft surveillance programme for infrainuginal vascular bypass surgery [PDF]
Aim: Patients undergoing bypass graft placement in the lower limb are often entered into a graft surveillance programme using duplex scanning. The aim of this programme is to identify stenoses in vein grafts before they become symptomatic and treat these

Open radial artery harvesting better preserves endothelial function compared to the endoscopic approach [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Both the open and endovascular techniques are commonly used for harvesting the radial artery (ORAH and ERAH, respectively), and yet, very little is known about the effects of these 2 techniques on endothelial integrity and function of the ...

Saphenous Vein Graft Intervention
Surgical revascularization enjoys tremendous technical advances and offers low mortality despite its invasive nature. The management of patients with recurrent angina after CABG presents a difficult problem. The risk of repeat CABG is two‐ to fourfold higher than initial CABG.
