  • A computational investigation of blood flow in a coronary artery grafted by artificial bypass was performed to determine such geometric parameters as the curvature of radius, approach length, and angle of end-to-side anastomosis. Transient flow features in the host artery were computed using FVM and SIMPLE algorithms. We compared flow distributions and wall shear stresses in two simple models, planar and non-planar, and confirmed that the non-planar bypass model was more conducive to suppressing intimal hyperplasia. Our non-planar model with $60^{\circ}$ of anastomosis and a 1.0 diameter approach length and radius of curvature predicts a relatively small, spatially-extended high-OSI (>0.01) zone, as well as an increased average wall shear stress on this zone.

  • Recently we experienced coronary artery bypass graft in two patients over 70years of age. Among them, one case was 74 old year male and the other case was 73 old year male. The coronary artery diseases of them were angiographically diagnosed to triple vessel diseases. We only used great saphenous vein as graft vessel in two patients. The postoperative courses were good except mediastinal bleeding in 1 case. They were discharged with good results. They were still healthy 40 months in one and 30 months in the other after coronary artery bypass grafting.

  • Development of intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass surgery is extremely rare with catastrophic outcomes resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The prognosis is highly dependant upon prompt diagnosis and emergent treatment. We report our experience on a 72 year old female patient who successfully received ascending aortic graft replacement for acute intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass procedure.

  • It was my great nohour that I can be exposed to such plenty materials of the coronary bypass surgery. Here, I am summarizing the xoronary bypass surgery, clinically. The material is serial 101 patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery between July 17, 1979 to November 30, 1979 in Shadyside Hospital, University of Pittsburgh. 1. Incidence of the Atherosclerosis is frequent in white, male, fiftieth who are living in industrialized country. It has been told the etiologic factor of the atherosclerosis is hereditary, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, drinking, diabetes, obesity, stress, etc. 2. The main and most frequent complication of the coronary atherosclerosis is angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is the chief cause of coronary bypass surgery and the other causes of coronary bypass surgery are obstruction of the left main coronary artery, unstable angina, papillary muscle disruption or malfunction and ventricular aneurysm complicated by coronary artery disease. 3. The preoperative clinical laboratory examination shows abnormal elevation of plasma lipid in 82 patint, plasma glucose in 40 patient, total CPK-MB in 24 patient stotal LDH in 22 patient out of 101 patient. 4. Abnormal ECG findings in preoperative examine were 29.1% myocardial infarction, 25.8% ischemia and injury, 14.6T conduction defect. 5. Also we had done Echocardiography, Tread Mill Test, Myocardial Scanning, Vectorcardiography and Lung function test to get adjunctive benefit in prediction of prognosis and accurate diagnosis. 6. The frequency of coronary atherosclerosis in main coronary arteries were LAD, RCA and Circumflex in that order. 7. The patients' main complaints which were became as etiologic factor undergoing coronary bypass surgery were angina, dyspnea, diaphoresis, dizziness, nausea and etc. 8. For the coronary bypass surgery, we used cardiopulmonary bypass machine, non-blood, diluting prime, cold cardioplegic solution and moderate cooling for the myocardial protection. 9. We got the grafted veins from Saphenous and Cephalic vein. Reversed and anastomosed between aorta and distal coronary A. using 5-0 and 7-0 prolene continuous suture. Occasionally we used internal mammary A. as an arterial blood source and anastomosed to the distal coronary A. and to side fashion. 10. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time for every graft was 43.9 min. and aortic clamp time was 23 minute. We could Rt. coronary A. bypass surgery only by stand by the cardiopulmonary machine and in the state of pumping heart. 11. Rates by the noumbers of graft were as follow : 21.8% single, 33.7% double, 26.7% triple, 13.9% quadruple, 3% quintuple and 1% was sixtuple graft. 12. combined procedures with coronary bypass surgery were 6% aneurysmectomy, 3% AVR, 1% MVR, 13% pacer implantation and 1% intraaortic ballon setting. 13. We could see the complete abolition of anginal pain after operation in 68% of patient, improvement 25.8%, no change in 3.1%, and there was unknown in 3%. 14. There were 4% immediate postoperative deaths, 13.5% some kinds of heart complication, 51.3% lung complications 33.3% pleural complications as prognosis.

  • CT angiography is now available to evaluate the early graft patency after coronary bypass surgery. We investigated whether patency or occlusion of the bypass grafts can be visualized by CT angiography and what factors effect the visuality. Material and Method: Fifty patients underwent scanning with a 4-slice computed tomographic scanner (Somatom Volume ZoomTM; Siemens, Germany) before being discharged after coronary artery bypass grafting. To evaluate graft patency and relationship between the quality of graft image and the characteristics of the diseased coronary vessels, 50 internal thoracic artery grafts, 18 radial artery grafts, and 56 vein grafts were included in this study. Result: All vein grafts (24 grafts; 32 anastomoses) to left coronary artery system were well visualized, but 3 grafts (4.7%) of 30 vein grafts (35 anastomoses) to right coronary artery system were not visualized. The latter was also occluded in invasive coronary angiographic study. Thirty-nine (78%) internal thoracic artery grafts were well visualized, 8 (16%) faintly visualized, and 3 (6%) not visualized, but all the internal artery grafts were well patent in invasive coronary angiographic study. Conclusion: Unvisualized vein grafts in CT angiography means occlusion of the grafts, but unvisualized arterial grafts in CT angiography may not mean occlusion of the graft but result from competitive flow between the graft and coronary artery. To confirm patency of the unvisualized arterial grafts, invasive coronary angiography is needed.

  • Background: As the internal mammary artery is far superior to the vein in the patency rate recently there has been a tendency to use the arterial graft as much as possible in coronary artery bypass grafts with the expectation of better the short- and long-term patency rate. Material and Method: We sequentially grafted the diagonal and the left anterior descending artery significantly influencing the cardiac function with the internal mammary artery. There were 32 cases of sequential grafts from July 1993 to December 1998: 21 men and 11 women. The age range was from 43 to 69 years with a mean age of 56.64$\pm$6.41 years. There were 22 unstable angina 7 stable angina and 3 acute myocardial infarction. 8 cases of them were accompanied by stenosis of the left main coronary artery. The grafts for coronary artery bypass surgery included the great saphenous vein at 60 the right gastroepiploci artery at 5 and the left internal mammary artery at 64 coronary arteries. Result: One patient died from sepsis and multiorgan failure. Complications included wound infections in two cases and gastrointestinal bleeding in one patient. All patients showed decrease or disappearance of angina after operation. The postoperative coronary angiogram performed in 9 patients showed neither occlusion nor stenosis of the grafts. Conclusion: This study suggests that sequential anastomosis of the internal mammary artery to the diagonal and the left anterior descending artery may result in excellent short-term patency diagonal and the left anterior descending artery may result in excellent short-term patency rate and be useful for the coronary artery bypass graft using only arterial grafts

  • background: The right gastroepiploic artery(RGEA) has been use in coronary artery bypass grafting from 1987. The RGEA is the most useful arterial conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) followed by the internal mammary artery, Materials and method: From Septermber 1998 to February 1999 the RGEA was used for coronary artery bypass grafting in 11 patients 10 males and 1 female. Postoperative angiography was performed in all of the patients before discharge Result: Early patent rate of the RGEA was 100%. The flow competition of the REGA graft was seen in 4 patients(36.4%) The flow pattern war RGEA dependent type in the inner diameter of the recipient coronary artery 1.5 mm the inner diameter of the RGEA 2.5 mm and the rtio of inner diameter of the RGEA and the recipient coronary artery 1(p<0.05) Conclusion : Early results of CABG with RGEA was satisfactory. However the RGEA graft has a tendency of flow competition in relation to the inner diameter of graft. Preoperative angiographic evaluation for RGEA and meticulous operative technique are required for a good surgical results.

  • Leriche syndrome ia a common entity which causes ischemia of the lower extremities. Since the introduction of aortic resection and homograft replacement by Oudot in 1951, reconstructive procedures to restore distal blood flow by either endarterectomy or, later, with prosthetic graft have become standardized. Recently we experienced a case of Leriche syndrome. A 50 year-old male patient admitted with intermittent claudication, impotence, and symmetrical atrophy at lower extremities. Aortogram revealed complete obstruction at infrarenal abdominal aorta and Doppler sonogram revealed only minimal blood flow at left femoral artery.Successful surgical treatment was accomplished with endarterectomy at proximal left renal artery and a bypass from abdominal aorta at the level of both renal arteries to both external iliac arteries with bifurcated Gore-tex vascular graft. After bypass operation, we did palpate with arterial pulse at both popliteal artery.He was recovered without complication.
