Graft flow predictive equation in distal bypass grafting for critical limb ischemia
2019, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :These impaired endothelial functions with low nitric oxide, severe calcification, and diseased runoff may influence GF immediately after surgery. The efficacy of GF measurement to predict graft patency is controversial,2,16,26,27 although in Japan the cost of GF measurement is covered by health insurance owing to the supposed efficacy. Especially in pedal bypasses, it was impossible to set an absolute cutoff value.16
The effect of congestive heart failure on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization
2016, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :CHF has a known association with endothelial dysfunction that likely has an effect on perioperative morbidity and potential mortality.17-19 In addition, CHF is associated with abnormalities of arterial flow (low cardiac output, dilated cardiac chambers), abnormalities of blood constituents (platelets), and chronic inflammation leading to increased a propensity for thrombosis.19-25 One might therefore expect an increase in early graft failure among CHF patients.
A numerical hemodynamic tool for predictive vascular surgery
2009, Medical Engineering and PhysicsFlow measurement before and after papaverine injection in above-knee prosthetic femoropopliteal bypass
2006, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Angiography may detect operative technical errors, however. Lundell and Bergqvist1 reported that increased peripheral resistance was more predictive for early graft occlusion then flow measurements. In the present study, peripheral resistance was not estimated; however, the increase in papaverine flow was caused by a reduced peripheral resistance.11
