Saphenous vein graft aneurysms: a growing problem? Presentation of two cases and surgical management.

ABSTRACT: Background Saphenous vein graft aneurysm is a rare complication after coronary artery bypass grafting leading to reoperations. Case Description In two patients with giant aneurysms, the subclavian artery and femoral vein were cannulated. The first patients' operation was combined with aortic valve replacement. The pulsating mass could be removed. The second patients' operation was planned as an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Upon surgical entry, the aneurysm ruptured and the operation was continued as on-pump beating-heart procedure. Conclusion Because of better follow-up and increasing use of diagnostics, more patients with graft aneurysms will be identified. The question about a treatment algorithm might be answered by aging population and improved survival.

Stable Hemodynamics within "No-Touch" Saphenous Vein Graft.

Project description:PURPOSE:To investigate the hemodynamics characteristics of the "no-touch" saphenous vein graft (SVG) conduits by nicardipine intraluminal administration in vivo experiment. METHODS:A total of 59 consecutive patients were enrolled and underwent a sequential SVG to three non-left anterior descending (LAD) targets with the average runoff ≤2 mm, 30 with "no-touch" harvest technique (group A) and 29 with conventional preparation (group B). The patients were subject to nicardipine intraluminal injection during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. The intraoperative flow was measured with the ultrasonic transit time flow meter (TTFM), and the graft patency testified by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography, respectively. RESULTS:The baseline blood flow was higher in group A than that in group B (p <0.05). However, the increases in blood flow of SVG conduits in group A were lower than those in group B with 19.7 ± 5.9 vs. 35.4 ± 9.2 mL/min, 14.8 ± 5.6 vs. 23.1 ± 6.8 mL/min, 6.6 ± 2.1 vs. 11.2 ± 4.3 mL/min before the first, second, and third anastomose after nicardipine intraluminal administration, respectively (all p <0.01). CONCLUSIONS:No-touch SVGs were associated with higher baseline blood flow and less rises after nicardipine intraluminal administration during off-pump CABG procedure compared with conventional preparation. The no-touch SVGs seemed to be less spastic and well-tolerated on flow dilatation.

Percutaneous closure of giant saphenous vein graft aneurysm.

Project description:BackgroundAneurysmal dilatation of saphenous vein grafts used for coronary artery bypass grafting is a rare complication. These aneurysms are often large in calibre and pose a risk of rupture with significant haemorrhage.Case summaryWe describe a case whereby a large saphenous vein graft aneurysm is closed percutaneously using a vascular plug to cease flow and promote thrombosis of the aneurysm whilst reconstructing the occluded native artery to negate ischaemia.ConclusionSaphenous vein graft aneurysms following coronary artery bypass graft are rare and late complications. The preferred modality of closure is via percutaneous approach that requires meticulous planning to achieve a good outcome.

Use of Lithotripsy in a Calcified Saphenous Vein Graft.

Project description:Percutaneous coronary interventions in saphenous vein grafts can pose a variety of challenges, such as severely calcified lesions. If these lesions are nondilatable, lithotripsy can arguably be a proper tool for lesion preparation. We present a case in which a nondilatable, calcified saphenous vein graft was successfully treated using Shockwave lithotripsy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Results of Infrainguinal Bypass with a Composite Graft Combining Polytetrafluoroethylene and Vein Graft in Absence of Appropriate Saphenous Vein Graft.

Project description:Use of a composite graft combining a polytetrafluoroethylene graft with an autogenous vein is an option for limb salvage in the absence of an adequate single segment vein graft. We aimed to investigate the results of infrainguinal bypass with a composite graft.We retrospectively reviewed 11 infrainguinal arterial bypasses on 11 limbs which underwent surgery from March 2012 to November 2016.Critical limb ischemia was common (63.6%) indication of bypass surgery and most (90.9%) of the patients had history of failed previous treatment including endovascular treatment (36.4%) and bypass surgery (72.7%). At the 2 years after graft implantations, primary patency and amputation-free survival of below-knee bypasses using composite graft were 73% and 76%, respectively.Infrainguinal arterial bypasses with composite graft had an acceptable patency. In patients without other alternative conduits for revascularization, bypass with a composite graft can be an option.

Giant saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm: treatment with a vascular occlusion device.

Project description:We report the case of a 74-year old male who was evaluated for progressively enlarging right heart border on serial chest radiographs. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the posterior descending artery with mass effect on the right atrium. Coronary angiography showed severely compromised distal flow and an angiographically small territory at risk. Using a minimally invasive, catheter-based approach, an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II occlusion device was utilized successfully for embolizing the SVG pseudoaneurysm.

Symptomatic late saphenous vein graft failure in coronary artery bypass surgery.

Project description:ObjectivesCoronary artery bypass grafting for advanced coronary artery disease is a well-established procedure with excellent long-term results. The issue of saphenous vein graft (SVG) performance and its relation to clinical symptoms and thereby the potential for improvement by using superior grafts are still not fully understood. We aim to estimate the contribution of late SVG failure to the long-term outcome.MethodsA study population operated between 1997 and 2020, with an internal thoracic artery with a single distal anastomosis and 1, 2 or 3 distal SVG anastomoses, was isolated from the Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry. Data regarding postoperative clinically driven coronary angiography and status of bypass grafts were collected.ResultsThe study population consisted of 44 951 patients. Clinically driven angiography occurred in 10.1% (9.5-10.8), 7.9% (7.6-8.3) and 7.1% (6.7-7.5), respectively, of patients within 3 years and 23.6% (22.6-24.5), 20.0% (19.5-20.6) and 17.5% (16.9-18.2), respectively, of patients within 10 years after surgery. Excluding the first 3 postoperative years, no failed SVGs were found in >75%, 60% and 45%, respectively, of cases when an angiography was performed in the first 10 years after surgery.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the risk of symptomatic graft failure due to vein graft disease during the first 10 years after surgery is in the range of 1-2% for every grafted coronary vessel and provide an estimate for the upper limit of the improvements in results that could be achieved by replacing SVGs with superior grafts.

Coronary aspirate TNF? reflects saphenous vein bypass graft restenosis risk in diabetic patients.

Project description:Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk for periprocedural complications and adverse cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention. We addressed the potential for coronary microvascular obstruction and restenosis in patients with and without DM undergoing stenting for saphenous vein bypass graft (SVG) stenosis under protection with a distal occlusion/aspiration device.SVG plaque volume and composition were analyzed using intravascular ultrasound before stent implantation. Percent diameter stenosis was determined from quantitative coronary angiography before, immediately after and 6?months after stent implantation. Coronary aspirate was retrieved during stent implantation and divided into particulate debris and plasma. Total calcium, several vasoconstrictors, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)? in particulate debris and coronary aspirate plasma were determined.Patients with and without DM had similar plaque volume, but larger necrotic core and greater particulate debris release in patients with than without DM (20.3±2.7 vs. 12.7±2.6% and 143.9±19.3 vs. 75.1±10.4?mg, P<0.05). The TNF? concentration in particulate debris and coronary aspirate plasma was higher in patients with than without DM (15.9±6.6 vs. 5.1±2.4 pmol/mg and 2.2±0.7 vs. 1.1±0.2 pmol/L, P<0.05), whereas total calcium and vasoconstrictors were not different. Patients with DM had a greater percent diameter stenosis 6?months after stent implantation than those without DM (22.17±5.22 vs. 6.34±1.11%, P<0.05). The increase in TNF? immediately after stent implantation correlated with restenosis 6?months later (r=0.69, P<0.05).In diabetics, particulate debris and coronary aspirate plasma contained more TNF?, which might reflect the activity of the underlying atherosclerotic process.URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=NCT01430884; unique identifier: NCT01430884.

The effect of storage solutions on endothelial function and saphenous vein graft patency.

Project description:Vein graft failure is a complex mechanism that can be triggered immediately after surgical harvesting. Storage solutions have a major role in preventing endothelial cell damage during harvesting. While normal saline is still widely used, buffered solutions seem to better preserve endothelial integrity and function. This review aims to summarize the current literature surrounding vein graft storage solutions.

Ultrasound mapping of the long saphenous vein in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Project description:Long saphenous vein is the most common conduit utilized for surgical coronary revascularization. Ultrasound-assisted vein assessment is superior to traditional clinical examination of the long saphenous vein in discerning path and suitability for use as a conduit. Preoperative ultrasound mapping of the long saphenous vein is easy and rapidly accomplished allowing optimal surgical site selection, avoiding unnecessary surgical dissection and potential wound complications. We describe the technique of ultrasound mapping of the long saphenous vein and its application to conduit harvest in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
