Recycling thoracic arteries for redo coronary artery bypass grafting: Long-term follow-up [PDF]
, 2007 Redo coronary artery bypass graft (redo CABG) procedures are a surgical challenge, especially when one or both internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) have been previously harvested. The lack of available ITA grafts at reoperation might jeopardize the long-

Surgical Notes: Robotic Bilateral Thoracic Arteries Harvest
, 2021 Robotic approach allows to harvest bilateral thoracic arteries using 5 ports (8 or 12 mm) in the left chest with no thoracotomy or sternotomy. This allows for a quick recovery with early post-operative discharge from the hospital (POD 2 or 3) and a quick

The branching of the aortic arch in the Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris, Linnaeus 1758)
Veterinární Medicína, 2012 This study was aimed at determining the vascular architecture of the aortic arch in the Eurasian bittern. For this purpose, the heart arteries of two bitterns were evaluated. The latex injection method was used to observe the branching of the aortic arch.

Unusual Case of an Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome due to Srb Anomaly
The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2013 A thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is caused by arterial or nervous obstruction because of skeletal or muscular anomalies and hypertrophies. Congenital rib anomalies occur with low incidences (0.15–0.31%), predominantly affect the right side and are ...

The role of large arteries in controlling blood flow to the hand during severe local cooling. [PDF]
, 1995 PhDCold vasodilatation describes the increase in blood flow that follows initial vaso constriction when an extremity is exposed to an environment colder than 12'C. It appears to be due mainly to cold paralysis of local resistance vessels.

An unusual renal accessory artery originating from the thoracic aorta and its potential clinical implications [PDF]
Acta Medica Academica, 2013 We report a case of an unsual anatomical vascular blood supply to the right kidney. In an analysis of kidneys, by dissection of 39 foetuses, additional renal arteries were found in 18 cases (46.15%).

Harvesting bilateral internal thoracic arteries using a novel subxiphoid approach versus the conventional lateral thoracic approach—results of an experimental study [PDF]
, 2014 ObjectivesA new method was developed to harvest bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts using a subxiphoid approach and robotic assistance. The present study compared the potential utility of the subxiphoid method with that of the lateral thoracic ...
