Long-Term Results of Femorodistal Sequential Composite-Bypass Combining Heparin-Bonded PTFE-Prosthesis and Autologous Vein Using the Deutsch Bridge Technique in Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia

Autologous vein bypass provides excellent long-term results in critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), but a substantial portion of patients have insufficient vein length. In limbs with two distal outflow vessels and limited vein length, a vascular prosthesis may be combined with autologous vein for a sequential composite bridge bypass (SCBB). Read more...

Preoperative Quantitative Flow Ratio, Intraoperative Transit Time Flow Measurement Parameters, and Their Predictive Value for Short-Term Graft Failure After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Studies on the relationship between the preoperative quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and parameters of intraoperative transit time flow measurement (TTFM) are extremely rare. In addition, the predictive value of QFR and TTFM parameters for early internal mammary artery (IMA) failure after coronary artery bypass grafting still needs to be validated.. Read More.

Coronary Artery Surgery: Past, Present, and Future

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed and studied major cardiac operation worldwide. An understanding of the evolution of CABG, including the early days of cardiac surgery, the first bypass operation, continuous improvements in techniques, and streamlining of the operation, is important to inform current trends and future innovations.

The 10 Commandments for Proximal Anastomosis During CABG: Techniques and Technologies for Vein and Arterial Grafts

In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the proximal anastomosis and management of the ascending aorta are critical moments that significantly influence the risk of perioperative stroke, due to the potential for cerebral embolization from dislodged aortic debris or hypoperfusion caused by hypotension.Perioperative stroke remains one of the most severe complications of CABG, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burden.
