A New Surgical Approach for Exclusion of Renal Artery Aneurysms Avoiding Organ Ischemia

Abstract

The presented surgical technique offers the major advantage of avoiding organ ischemia and accelerating the surgical procedure.

The C-Port xV® Vascular Anastomosis System: Results from an Animal Trial

“…The role of such devices should be clearly defined in the field of minimally invasive coronary surgery. Other potential uses of these devices should be explored in a continuous effort to decrease operative trauma and perform vascular anastomoses without interrupting blood flow in body regions that may not tolerate ischemic periods, such as the renal or cerebral arteries [6,7].…”

Creating arteriovenous fistula using an automatic anastomotic device

“…This device has been mainly developed for creating fast venous or arterial graft-to-coronary artery anastomosis in off-pump bypass surgery, 2 although it has been used as well for anastomoses in other anatomic locations such as carotid to middle cerebral artery bypass, 3 and bypass of the renal artery for aneurysm exclusion. 4 We used the Cardica C-Port system in 5 patients with renal failure to perform a radiocephalic fistula in the wrist, rather than the standard technique of a handmade anastomosis between the radial artery and cephalic vein.…”
