Background: When internal thoracic artery (ITA) and saphenous vein graft are anastomosed to the same coronary artery, the patency rate of the internal thoracic artery graft with relatively narrow diameter may be decreased owing to competition of pressure and flow rate. We evaluate the clinical outcome and the patency of the ITA graft in patients undergoing dual grafting to the same coronary artery. Material and Method: In 14 patients with the ITA graft having relatively low flow, the ITA and saphenous vein graft were anastomosed to the same coronary artery. During the mean follow-up period of 33.5 months, coronary angiography was performed in 6 patients who complained of recurrent angina, needed confirmation of graft flow, or showed postoperative Q wave. Result: In all 6 patients, the ITA and saphenous vein grafts were patent without stenosis or obstruction. Two patients showed good flow in both grafts, 2 showed competitive flow in the ITA graft, and the remaining 2 showed poor flow in the ITA graft. Conclusion: Early operative closure When saphenous vein grafting was added to the same coronary artery that the internal thoracic artery was anastomosed to, the perfusion to the coronary artery was satisfied and the dual grafting did not affect the short-term and mid-term patency rate of the ITA.

Free flap transplantation with microvascular anastomosis has been successfully performed by development of surgical technique, materials and postoperative monitoring equipments of flap. But success rate of microvascular anastomosis is influenced by various factors, and failure rate is about 5-10%. The most influential factor for success rate is surgical technique and other factors that influence failure of microvascular anastomosis are ischemic time of free flap, thrombus formation of anastomosis region and vascular spasm. In this study, vascular patency and thrombus formation in experimental micro-venous anastomosis, and endothelial repair were observed with histologic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopic examination. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In vascular patency test in 30 minute and 7 days after micro-venous anastomosis with heparin irrigation, all of 12 anastomosis site were good vascular patency. 2. In thrombus formation in 2 weeks group(Experimental I), 2 site of 6 cases were observed thrombus, and in 4 weeks group(Experimental II), 1 site of 6 cases were observed thrombus. 3. In histologic examination, normal vein(Control Group) showed continued internal elastic lamina, well formed thick smooth muscle layer and connective tissue. The group of 2 weeks after microvenous anastomosis(Experimental I) showd locally recovered internal lamina, discontinued internal lamina, disorganized smooth muscle cells and granulation tissue around suture silk. In the group of 4 weeks after micro-venous anastomosis(Experimental II), anastomosis site showed almostly continued internal lamina, disorganized smooth muscle cells and cicartrized tissue around suture silk. 4. In scanning electron microscope examination in 2 weeks(Experimental I) after micro-venous anastomosis, mesh fibrin formation showed near to endothelial cells, and in 4 weeks after micro-venous anastomosis(EXperimental II), numerous blood cells and fibrin mesh formation was seen associated with irregular endothelial cell arrangement. 5. In transmission electron microscope examination in 2 weeks after micro-venous anastomosis(Experimental I), irregular arrangement of smooth muscle cells was seen adjacent to collagenized tissue around suture silk. In 4 weeks after micro-venous anastomosis(Experimental II), denuded venous wall composed of relatively well arranged smooth muscle cells was covered by endothelial cells, but fibroblast cells and foreign body giant cells near to suture silk was remained. From the results obtained in this study, results of good vascular patiency and anti-thrombotic effect of heparin were obtained as a local irrigation solution, and repair of venous endothelial cell was observed in 2 weeks after micro-venous anastomosis.
Background: The new Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) is useful in visualization of complex coronary artery anatomy. We investigated usefulness comparing of invasive coronary angiography with noninvasive MDCT in judgment of functional degree of coronary arteries grafts after coronary artery bypass graft operation. Material and Method: We analyzed the patency of 52 conduits from 15 patients whom consented to take both 32 Channel MDCT and coronary angiography from November 2003 to November 2004. Comparisons were performed for sensitivity, specificity, positive prediction value and negative prediction value between coronary angiography and 3 dimensional reconstruction image using MDCT. Result: The average graft used was 3.4 $\pm$ 0.8 per patient. Average heart rate during MDCT was 86/minute (Range, 60$\∼$110/minute) without administration of $\beta$-blocker. All patients could hold breath as much as necessary. The average graft patency obtained through corollary angiography was 96.2$\%$. In MDCT group, the sensitivity, the specificity, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for diagnosis was 100$\%$, 98.0$\%$, 100$\%$ and 66.6$\%$ respectively. Conclusion: The effectiveness of 32 Channel MDCT may be compared to coronary angiography in grasping about patency and bloodstream of graft conduits after coronary artery bypass graft. Also MDCT has the advantage of noninvasiveness and inexpensiveness compared to coronary angiography.
Between July 1994 and August 1995, 78 patients underwent coronary artery bypass graft at Seoul National University Hospital. Coronary angiogram was performed one year after coronary artery bypass graft in 49 patients(62.8%) for evaluation of the graft patency and analysis of the risk factors for graft occlusion. The patency rates of both the internal mammary artery and the radial artery grafts were 100% , although three internal mammary artery grafts(5.0%) were narrowed(string sign). And that of the saphenous vein grafts were 85.2%. Multivariate analysis for the preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors was done between the widely patent and the narrowed internal mammary artery graft groups, and between the patent and the occluded saphenous vein graft groups by the general linear models procedure. Patient's age($\geq$60 years), postoperative intraaortic balloon pump insertion, bleeding, and acute renal failure were found to be the significant risk factors for internal mammary artery graft narrowing, and coronary artery size(< 1.5 mm) was the significant risk factor for the saphenous vein graft occlusion (p<0.05) . This study confirms that the arterial graft is superior to the vein graft at one-year patency rate, and suggests the risk factors for graft occlusion during the first postoperative year. Knowledge of this study may provide a basis for estimating the risk factors for graft occlusion, and thereby modifying surgical strategy and postoperative surveillance.
To evaluate clinical pattern and operative outcome of atherosclerotic obstructive disease in the lower extremity, surgical experience in 25 patients between September 1987 and June 1994 was analyzed. There were 24 male patients and 1 female patient. The age of the patients ranged between 36 and 77 years[mean:60.9 years . Disabing intermittent claudication, rest pain, or ischemic gangrene[or ulceration was the operative indication. The patients were classified into three groups according to the level of obstruction: Aortoiliac level[11 cases/44% , femoropopliteal level[6 cases/24% , and whole level[8 cases/32% . Anatomic bypass with prosthetic graft was performed in all cases: aortobifemoral or aortofemoral bypass in 15 procedures, iliofemoral bypass in 5 procedures, femoropopliteal bypass in 13 procedures. The perioperative mortality rate was 12%. Two patients received postoperative major amputation. Twenty two patients were followed-up for 1 to 70 months[mean: 21 months . Late graft obstruction occurred in two patients. The cumulative patency rate at 3 years was 69.5%. The cumulative limb salvage rate at 3 years was 92.0%.
Background: Lesions in distal target arteries hinder surgical bypass procedures in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Methods: Between April 2012 and October 2015, 16 patients (18 limbs) with lifestyle-limiting claudication (n=12) or chronic critical limb ischemia (n=6) underwent femoral-above-knee (AK) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bypass grafts with a bridging stent graft placement between the distal target popliteal artery and the PTFE graft. Ring-supported PTFE grafts were used in all patients with no available vein for graft material. Follow-up evaluations assessed clinical symptoms, the ankle-brachial index, ultrasonographic imaging and/or computed tomography angiography, the primary patency rate, and complications. Results: All procedures were successful. The mean follow-up was 12.6 months (range, 11 to 14 months), and there were no major complications. The median baseline ankle-brachial index of 0.4 (range, 0.2 to 0.55) significantly increased to 0.8 (range, 0.5 to 1.0) at 12 months (p<0.01). The primary patency rate at 12 months was 83.3%. The presenting symptoms resolved within 2 weeks. Conclusion: In AK bypasses with a diffusely diseased distal target popliteal artery or when below-knee (BK) bypass surgery is impossible, this procedure could be clinically effective and safe when used as an alternative to femoral-BK bypass surgery.
A comparative study was undertaken to evaluate the contact Neo-dymium : yttrium aluminum garnet(Nd:YAG) laser system for vascular anastomosis of small caliber blood vessels(diameter 0.5-1.2 mm) in the animal model. In this study 40 femoral arteries and 40 femoral veins of Sprague-Dawley rats were anastomosed by contact laser assisted microvascular anastomosis(LAMA) utilizing 3 stay sutures which were placed 120 degrees apart and the intervals welded with contact Nd:YAG laser unit, conventionally sutured anastomosis(CSA) served as controls. The time needed for vascular anastomosis, patency rate(immediate postoperative, postoperative 2nd day, postoperative 1 week, postoperative 4 weeks), gross and microscopic evaluations were compared to conventional microsurgical suture technique. The results are as follows: 1. Postoperative patency rate was 82.5% for femoral artery and 75% for femoral vein by contact LAMA technique compared to 90% and 75% by CSA technique at postoperative 4 weeks. 2. Less time-consumed for arterial anastomosis by 6 minutes 23 seconds and venous anastomosis by 8 minutes 55 seconds with contact LAMA technique compared to CSA technique. 3. Grossly almost complete healing had taken place by postoperative 1 week by contact LAMA technique. 4. Aneurysm formation was 5% for femoral artery and 15% for femoral vein by contact LAMA technique compared to 5% and 10% respectively by CSA technique. 5. Microscopically, re-endothelization was complete by postoperative 7th day by contact LAMA technique. There was less medial hypertrophy and hyperplasia and also less inflammatory response compared to CSA.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of dacryoscintigraphy with Tc-99 m Pertechnetate, which is useful in functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction diagnosis in human medical science, by applying it to normal dogs. Dacryoscintigraphy was performed on six clinically healthy beagle dogs to confirm normal passage of their lacrimal ducts. The scintigraphic images of both lacrimal system were obtained at 5 min, 10 min, and 20 min after Tc-99 m Pertechnetate administration, respectively. If lacrimal duct does not come into view within 20 min, delayed images at 30min, 45min and 60 min were gained. After drawing ROI of left and right canaliculus, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct acquired after dacryoscintigraphy, we measured each counting rate and developed a counting rate table for each time interval. Of the total of 12 places, 10 (83.3%) showed patency within 20 min, and 11 (91.6%) showed patency within 30 min. In one dog, a functional obstruction of right lacrimal canal was observed. Dacryoscintigraphy could provide useful information about functional and anatomical lacrimal duct obstruction in veterinary medicine as well as in clinical research.
Recently, diabetic patients are increasing in the field of microvascular surgery. Diabetes melltius is known to be related to arterial damage, platelet malfunction and thrombus formation. After microvascular anastomosis, delayed repair and vascular occlusion occurred more frequently in diabetic state. This study was performed to investigate the patency rate and process of endothelial healing after microvascular anastomosis of femoral artery in diabetic rat by scanning electron microscope. The animals were divided into two groups, 20 diabetic-induced and 20 non-diabetic groups. Diabetes was induced with a injection of Streptozotocin(50mg/kg b.w., Sigma Chemical Co.) to tail vein. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Macroscopically, anastomotic site was intact except a few cases showed minimal inflammatory sign around the wound site. But the inflammatory change was frequently occurred in diabetic-induced group. 2. The patency rate was 95% (19/20) in non-diabetic group and 65% (13/20) in diabetic-induced group. 3. In the non-diabetic group, anstomotic region was mostly endothelized by the alignment along the long axis of vessel but stitchs were not covered with endothelial cells. The thichkening of vessel wall was not observed. 4. In the diabetic-induced group, anastomotic region was not endothelized but covered with blood cellular components and connective tissue instead of endothelial cells. The thickening of the vessel wall was prominent in some diabetic-induced rats. These results suggest that diabetes was related to delayed regeneration of endothelium of vessels after microsurgical anastomosis.
Background: In this study, the role and the surgical outcome of the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt in the treatment of the infants with cyanotic complex congenital heart diseases were investigated. Material and Method: Over the last 12 years, 105 modified BT shunts were performed in 100 infants. Postoperative course, shunt patency rate, complications, mortality and its risk factors were reviewed restrospectively. Result: The mean age at operation was 43.0$\pm$36.6 days. Sex ratio was 60:40(M:F). The postoperative oxygen saturations were lowest after mean duration of 11 hours after the shunt procedure. The operative mortality was 8%(8) with 3 late deaths. Causes of operative death included failure of maintenance of minimum oxygenation during the procedure(2), immediate postoperative shunt occlusion(2), respiratory failure(2), low cardiac output due to heart failure and pericardial effusion(2) and sepsis(2). Late deaths resulted from acute cardiac arrest during the follow up cardiac catheterization, hypoxic myocardial failure, and arrhythmia. Year of surgery, shunt size, age at operation, and complexity of the anomalies were not the risk factors for mortality. Six month shunt patency rate was 97% and overall patency rate was 96%. Postoperative complications comprised of shunt occlusion(6), phrenic nerve palsy(3), and wound infection(2). Conclusion: We demonstrated that modified Blalock-Taussig shunt was a useful tool to palliate the infants with complex cyanotic heart disease in whom early complete repair was not feasible with acceptable mortality and patency rate. An adequate postoperative management and a meticulous surgical technique may be key factors for the better results.
