1. Conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery : Saphenous vein, radial and internal thoracic arteries
Sammanfattning : A novel technique for saphenous vein (SV) graft harvesting, the No-touch technique (NT), has been developed at the Dept. of Cardiovascular surgery, Örebro University hospital. With NT the SV is harvested with a pedicle of surrounding tissue. This avoids graft spasm and eliminates the need for distension. LÄS MER
2. No-Touch Saphenous Veins in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting : Long-term Angiographic, Surgical, and Clinical Aspects
Sammanfattning : Ischemic heart disease is currently the leading cause of death globally. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is considered the best treatment for many patients and its success depends on the long-term patency of the conduits. LÄS MER
3. Medin Amyloid in Human Arteries and its Association with Arterial Diseases
Sammanfattning : Amyloid is a form of abnormal protein aggregation within the living body. Massive deposits can lead to organ failure. There is also increasing evidence that smaller pre-amyloid aggregates exert direct toxic effects to cells. LÄS MER
4. Local Collagen-Gentamicin for Prevention of Sternal Wound Infections
Sammanfattning : In cardiac surgery, sternal wound infection (SWI) continues to be one of the most serious postoperative complications. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have become the most common causative agents of SWI. LÄS MER
5. GLP-1 secretion and signaling in patients with aneurysmal enlargement of the thoracic aorta : a potential contributor to reduced prevalence of aneurysm in diabetes
Sammanfattning : An aortic aneurysm is a localized dilation of the artery, greater than 50% of the normal size. It is the result of a weakening of the aortic wall, and untreated or unrecognized aortic aneurysms may be fatal due to massive internal bleeding, as a result of dissection or rupture of the aneurysm.
