In the last few years there has been a resurgenceof interest in in-situ saphenous vein arterial bypass for lower extremity revascularization because of improved patency rates. we performed 1 in situ bypass oreration using the intraluminal valve-disruption tecnique. A 65-year-old female who had ztherosclerotic obstruction in the superficial and popliteal arteries underwent in situ saphenous vein arterial bypass. After harvesting of saphenous vein, we used LeMaitre retrograde valvulotome for valve-disruption technique. Completion of the arterrigraphy was performed to evaluate bothh the anastomoses. The two side brances were all ligated. In situ saphenous vein arterial bypass has become the procedure of choice for distal reconstruction in severely ischemic lower extremities because of improved long-term patency compared with reversed-saphenous vein bypass procedure.

Many reports have been published on complications related to middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm surgical clipping procedures. We report an emergency intracranial in situ bypass surgery case which was performed as a rescue procedure after aneurysmal neck laceration during clipping of an MCA large aneurysm. In this case, we performed in situ M3-superficial temporal artery (STA) interposition graft-M3 bypass procedure. If a STA-MCA anastomosis is not available under MCA flow obstruction, we can consider an emergency in situ MCA-MCA bypass procedure with or without an STA interposition graft.

A case of large aneurysm arising from the distal end of an azygous A2 segment is presented. Multiple clip application inadvertently tore the aneurysmal neck, resulting in near avulsion of a right pericallosal artery origin. After an unsuccessful attempt to repair the avulsion, it was treated by occlusion of the origin of the pericallosal artery and an A4-A4 anterior cerebral artery in situ bypass without neurological deficits. The surgical technique and previous reports onside-to-side in situ bypass are discussed.

The Saphenous vein is still the graft of choice for bypass of small calibered peripheral arteries, and many recent studies revealed that the "In Situ" technique had higher rate of long term patency than the conventional "reversed" one. A 71-year-old male who had atherosclerotic obstruction in the superficial femoral and popliteal trifurcation underwent In Situ saphenous vein arterial bypass. The saphenous vein is exposed by a long medial skin incision over the course of the vein. All branches of vein are ligated. A olive-tipped metal needle is introduced into the vein from above and everts the valves. The patient has been followed for 2 months after operation. The graft remained pulsatile and the gangrenous areas on the toe proceeded to heal. We think In situ vein bypass offers an excellent and safe method of revascularization of the arterial occlusion below the knee although it is technically demanding and the time consuming. time consuming.

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty[PTA] was introduced by Dotter and JudKins [1964], using coaxial catheters of increasing diameter. The remarkable advances in vascular catheter technology over the past several decades have permitted the development. But the application of the balloon catheters carries with it the risk of arterial injury, thrombosis, embolism, and loss of life or limb. A 53-year-old man was admitted to other hospital due to a intermittent claudication in his right leg for 10 years. and PTA was performed at that hospital. Thereafter he was transferred to our hospital because of coldness, pulselessness, rest pain, ischemic ulcer, and progressing gangrene at the anterior aspect of left lower leg. The left lower extremity was salvaged by left ilio-femoral bypass and later saphenous in situ femoro-popliteal bypass.

We report a redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a 55-year-old man. Angina recurred 7 years after the initial surgery. Coronary angiography showed all patent grafts except a faint visualization of the in situ right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) graft, which was anastomosed to the posterior descending coronary artery, associated with celiac axis stenosis. Redo-CABG was performed at postoperative 10 years because of aggravated angina and decreased perfusion of the inferior wall in the myocardial single photon emission computed tomography. The saphenous vein graft was interposed between the 2 in situ grafts used previously; the right internal thoracic artery and RGEA grafts. Angina was relieved and myocardial perfusion was improved.

Objective : To report our surgical experience using in situ end-to-side bypass for giant serpentine distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm, unsuitable for microsurgical clipping. Methods : A 49-year-old woman presented with headache and intermittent loss of consciousness. The brain computed tomography scan revealed a partially calcified mass in the interhemispheric fissure. On cerebral angiography, that was giant ($30{\times}18mm$ sized), serpentine aneurysm originating from the A2 to A3 segment of the distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA). The aneurysm was trapped with clips, and the right A3 segment to left A3 segment of DACA, end-to-side in situ bypass was performed. Surgical result was favorable, with no newly developed ischemic event in the acute recovery period. Postoperative angiography showed total occlusion of the aneurysm and good patency, with preserved distal flow. Conclusion : Giant fusiform aneurysms of the DACA are extremely rare and can be particularly challenging to treat. End-to-side A3 : A3 bypass with aneurysm trapping could be a treatment modality for these locations.

Throughout its 30-year history, the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been useful for in situ grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The early graft patency rate is high, and the late patency rate has improved by using the skeletonized GEA graft and proper target selection, which involves having a target coronary artery with a tight >90% stenosis. Total arterial revascularization with the internal thoracic artery and GEA grafts is an option for achieving better outcomes from CABG procedures.

A 74-year-old patient was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage suspected from a dissecting aneurysm located at the lateral medullary segment of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). Because perforators to the medulla arose both proximal and distal to the dissecting segment, revascularization for distal flow was essential. However, several previously reported methods for anastomosis, such as an occipital artery-PICA bypass or resection with PICA end-to-end anastomosis could not be used. Ultimately, we performed an in situ side-to-side anastomosis of the proximal loop of the PICA with distal caudal loops within a single artery, as a "closing omega," followed by trapping of the dissected segment. The aneurysm was obliterated successfully, with intact patency of the revascularized PICA.
