Stouffer NEW IDEAS East Tennessee Cardiovascular Surgery Group, Knoxville, TN, USA * Corresponding author: East Tennessee Cardiovascular Surgery Group, PC, 9125 Cross Park Drive, Suite 200, Knoxville, TN 37920, USA.

Received 8 May 2012; received in revised form 15 August 2012; accepted 20 August 2012 Abstract OBJECTIVES: To obtain a suitable conduit from the lesser (short) saphenous system for use in coronary artery bypass surgery. We wanted to perform this while the patient was in the supine position as to not disrupt the standard operation, and at the same time, util- izing the endoscopic vein harvest technique with its obvious abilities to decrease vein harvest morbidity. We also theorized that through endoscopic techniques instead of the open technique we could harvest greater lengths of conduit, thus providing quality vein segments for additional grafts if needed. METHODS: We were able to perform endoscopic vein harvest while in the supine position with one unique centrally located incision that has not been previously described. RESULTS: The lesser saphenous vein harvested in the described technique provided excellent conduit for our patients that were conduit poor. The endoscopic technique allowed increased length of harvested segments, by giving us the ability to travel under the gastrocnemius muscle with minimal morbidity as opposed to the open technique, where the traditional endpoint is the aforemen- tioned muscle.

  • Femoral Nerve Block Versus Spinal Anesthesia for Lower Limb
    Alexandria Journal of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 44 Femoral Nerve Block versus Spinal Anesthesia for Lower Limb Peripheral Vascular Surgery By Ahmed Mansour, MD Assistant Professor of Anesthesia, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University. Abstract Perioperative cardiac complications occur in 4% to 6% of patients undergoing infrainguinal revascularization under general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia. The risk may be even greater in patients whose cardiac disease cannot be fully evaluated or treated before urgent limb salvage operations. Prompted by these considerations, we investigated the feasibility and results of using femoral nerve block with infiltration of the genito4femoral nerve branches in these high-risk patients. Methods: Forty peripheral vascular reconstruction of lower limbs were performed under either spinal anesthesia (20 patients) or femoral nerve block with infiltration of genito-femoral nerve branches supplemented with local infiltration at the site of dissection as needed (20 patients). All patients had arterial lines. Arterial blood pressure and electrocardiographic monitoring was continued during surgery, in PACU and in the intensive care units. Results: Operations included femoral-femoral, femoral-popliteal bypass grafting and thrombectomy. The intra-operative events showed that the mean time needed to perform the block and dose of analgesics and sedatives needed during surgery was greater in group I (FNB,) compared to group II [P=0.01*, P0.029* , P0.039*], however, the time needed to start surgery was shorter in group I than in group II [P=0. 039]. There were no block failures in either group, but local infiltration in the area of the dissection with 2 ml (range 1-5 ml) of 1% lidocaine was required in 4 (20%) patients in FNB group vs none in the spinal group.

  • Five-Year Results of a Merger Between Vascular Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists in a University Medical Center
    From the Eastern Vascular Society Five-year results of a merger between vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists in a university medical center Richard M. Green, MD, and David Waldman, MD, PhD, for the Center for Vascular Disease* Rochester, NY Objectives: We examined economic and practice trends after 5 years of a merger between vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists. Methods: In 1998 a merger between the Division of Vascular Surgery and the Section of Interventional Radiology at the University of Rochester established the Center for Vascular Disease (CVD). Business activity was administered from the offices of the vascular surgeons. Results: In 1998 the CVD included five vascular surgeons and three interventional radiologists, who generated a total income of $5,789,311 (34% from vascular surgeons, 24% from interventional radiologists, 42% from vascular laborato- ries). Vascular surgeon participation in endoluminal therapy was limited to repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Income was derived from 1011 major vascular procedures, 10,510 catheter-based procedures in 3286 patients, and 1 inpatient and 3 outpatient vascular laboratory tests. In 2002 there were six vascular surgeons (five, full-time equivalent) and four interventional radiologists, and total income was $6,550,463 despite significant reductions in unit value reimbursement over the 5 years, a 4% reduction in the number of major vascular procedures, and a 13% reduction in income from vascular laboratories. In 2002 the number of endoluminal procedures increased to 16,026 in 7131 patients, and contributions to CVD income increased from 24% in 1998 to 31% in 2002. Three of the six vascular surgeons performed endoluminal procedures in 634 patients in 2002, compared with none in 1998.

  • Leg Saphenous Vein Stripping with Powered Phlebectomy with Saphenectomy with Greater Saphenectomy Consent Form
    Left Right Bilateral Leg Saphenous Vein Stripping With Powered Phlebectomy With Saphenectomy With Greater Saphenectomy Consent Form Patient Name: Date of Birth: Guardian Name (if applicable): Patient ID: Washington State law guarantees that you have both the right and the obligation to make decisions regarding your health care. Your physician can provide you with the necessary information and advice, but as a member of the health care team, you must participate in the decision making process. This form acknowledges your consent to treatment recommended by your physician. 1 MY PROCEDURE I hereby give my consent for Dr. or his/her associates to perform a Left Right Bilateral Leg Saphenous Vein Stripping With Powered Phlebectomy With Saphenectomy With Greater Saphenectomy upon me. I understand the procedure is to be performed at the First Hill Surgery Center. This has been recommended to me by my physician in order to diagnose and/or treat Left Right Bilateral varicose veins. I understand that the procedure or treatment can be described as follows: Removal of the saphenous vein through small incisions, removal of varicose veins using a powered phlebectomy device (Trivex). This procedure requires anesthesia. Either general or spinal anesthetic are appropriate; your anesthesiologist will help determine which is most appropriate for you. 2 MY BENEFITS Some potential benefits of this procedure include: Relief of symptoms associated with superficial venous reflux and elimination of prominent varicose veins. While saphenous vein stripping and powered phlebectomy is often an effective test/treatment for varicose veins and superficial venous insufficiency, not all conditions, diseases or problems can be diagnoses or treated solely by saphenous vein stripping and powered phlebectomy.

  • MR Venography for the Assessment of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Lower Extremities with Varicose Veins
    Ann Vasc Dis Vol. 7, No. 4; 2014; pp 399–403 ©2014 Annals of Vascular Diseases doi:10.3400/avd.oa.14-00068 Original Article MR Venography for the Assessment of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Lower Extremities with Varicose Veins Kiyoshi Tamura, MD, PhD, and Hideki Nakahara, MD, PhD Objective: To assess the performance of magnetic resonance venography (MRV) for pelvis and deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities before surgical interventions for varicose veins. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 72 patients who underwent MRV and ultrasonography before strip- ping for varicose veins of lower extremities. All images of the deep venous systems were evaluated by time- of-flight MRV. Results: Forty-six patients (63.9%) of all were female. Mean age was 65.2 ± 10.2 years (37–81 years). There were forty patients (55.6%) with varicose veins in both legs. Two deep vein thrombosis (2.8%) and three iliac vein thrombosis (4.2%) were diagnosed. All patients without deep vein thrombosis underwent the stripping of saphenous veins, and post-thrombotic change was avoided in all cases.
