Minimally invasive surgical coronary artery bypass in women

Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has emerged as a viable alternative to conventional sternotomy CABG in select patients requiring coronary revascularization. Specific techniques vary, but minimally invasive CABG (i.e., MIDCAB) usually involves revascularization of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery with the left internal mammary artery (LIMA)...

Epicardial ultrasound in a case of myocardial bridge and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A 59-year-old male with a history of unstable angina was diagnosed with a myocardial bridge of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and apical variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). He underwent unroofing of the myocardial bridge and a left ventricular apical myectomy. Intraoperatively, epicardial ultrasound was used to identify the myocardial bridge with systolic compression of the LAD and confirm resolution of this compression postoperatively. Read more...

Conduit quality control protocol in CABG

Cardiac revascularization surgery has a long history. Its results and safety are well known. Nonetheless, the long-term patency rate of certain grafts used in cardiac revascularization is non-optimal, and CABG is associated with a risk of cerebrovascular stroke due to aortic manipulation. We have developed a simple control quality protocol of the anastomosis performed in CABG, aiming to improve the long-term patency of certain grafts used in cardiac revascularization surgery and reduce the risk of cerebrovascular stroke in those patients.

How I do it: Endoscope-assisted in situ arterial reconstruction of the lower limb

Arterial reconstruction with the great saphenous vein is a frequently performed vascular surgery technique for revascularization of chronic limb threatening ischemia. Surgeon variations of the procedure are common and aim to balance patency, limb salvage, complications, hospital resources, and technical feasibility. We describe a minimally invasive revascularization option using endoscope assistance for in situ great saphenous vein–arterial bypass... Read more
