Tunelizador maleável moldável universal na cirurgia de revascularização do membro inferior isquêmico

Abstract: Contexto: A revascularização do membro inferior isquêmico envolve a criação de túnel para a acomodação do enxerto vascular cujo trajeto e extensão dependem do local da anastomose proximal e distal do enxerto. Na atualidade, os tunelizadores utilizados consistem em estruturas cilíndricas metálicas rígidas. Objetivo: Testar a utilização de um tunelizador universal metálico e moldável na revascularização de membros inferiores isquêmicos. Métodos: O tunelizador desenvolvido consiste de uma estrutura cilíndrica híb… Show more

“…Our initial experience in performing fistula operations for hemodialysis, using the same concept of a malleable tunneler that had been used in revascularization of ischemic lower limbs 3 , showed only two cases of mild complications (superficial infection, hematoma), which were treated conservatively. These results, combined with the universal mini-tunneler easy maintenance, low cost and versatility, indicates that it can replace with advantages the currently used rigid models.…”

“…The available tunnelers can be a limiting factor for the making of such tunnels and predispose the patient to iatrogenic lesions and complications 1,2 . In a previously conducted study, we investigated the advantages of using a malleable tunneler in the revascularization of ischemic limbs 3 . This is a pilot study, which objective was to test the use of a universal malleable mini-tunneler in the surgical making of hemodialysis access fistulas.…”
