Raman and in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical studies of Dy3N@C80@SWCNT peapods have been carried out for the first time. The formation of peapods by the encapsulation of gaseous Dy3N@C80 has been confirmed by HR-TEM microscopy and by the successful transformation of Dy3N@C80@SWCNT into double-walled carbon nanotubes. The Raman spectra of the endohedral fullerene cluster changed dramatically in the interior of the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The electrochemical charging of the peapod indicates a slight reversible attenuation of the Raman intensities of fullerene features during anodic doping. The results support the assignment of Raman bands to the Dy3N@C80 moiety inside a SWCNT.

Distal Venous Patch improves results in PFTE bypasses to Tibial arteries

In recent years, the management of limb-threatening ischemia has involved the use of distal bypasses to vessels beyond the popliteal trifurcation. Excellent patency rates and limb salvage data are achieved through the use of autologous long saphenous vein. However, an increasing number of patients in need of tibial bypass do not have adequate saphenous vein due to previous procedures, thrombophlebitis, or inadequate vein. In such cases alternative conduits have been proposed including lesser saphenous vein, arm vein, composite veins, composite vein with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and PTFE with or without a distal arteriovenous fistula. Unfortunately these alternative conduits have not resulted in equivalent results when used for distal bypass to tibial arteries. Several authors have reported upon the use of venous tissue at the distal anastomosis in the form of cuffs, collars, and boots to improve the results of prosthetic grafts in this challenging patient population. These techniques have been proposed as an option for revascularization in patients without adequate saphenous vein in an attempt to obtain limb salvage. The purpose of this review is to examine some of those techniques and focus on distal vein patch configuration with its perceived advantages and drawbacks.
