Salvage resection of advanced mediastinal tumors [PDF]
The surgical treatment of locally advanced mediastinal tumors invading the great vessels and other nearby structures still represent a tricky question, principally due to the technical complexity of the resective phase, the contingent need to carry out

A true aneurysm formation in an arterialized vein graft used for lower limb arterial occlusive disease is a rare complication. The saphenous vein is the preferred conduit for infrainguinal bypass. For extra-anatomical bypass-like femorofemoral crossover,

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]
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 ...

Antithrombotic therapy in patients receiving saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts: a protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The current evidence for the prevention of saphenous vein graft failure (SVGF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery consists of direct head-to-head comparison of treatments (including placebo) in randomised-controlled trials ...

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

The Impact of Vein Mechanical Compliance on Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes [PDF]
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. Background Arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are the preferred access for hemodialysis but suffer a high early failure rate. The aim of this study was to determine how venous distensibility, as measured in vitro, relates to early ...

Lateral Femoral Circumflex Arterial System as Donor Vessels for Extremity Replantation
Background Forearm replantation presents with many challenges, including the need for vascular graft material for revascularization. Although frequently harvested for vascular reconstruction, the saphenous vein is often suboptimal for use as vascular ...
