End-to-Side Anastomosis
CHAPTER 1 End-to-Side Anastomosis End-to-Side Anastomosis Anastomoses are the connections that join arteries together to create a bypass. The Greek roots of the word translate to “furnish with a mouth,”…
Intracranial-Intracranial Bypass with Interposition Graft
CHAPTER 19 Intracranial-Intracranial Bypass with Interposition Graft IC-IC Interpositional Bypass Sometimes the tension on two transected arterial ends may be too great to reconstruct with reanastomosis, and other times the…
Combination Bypasses
CHAPTER 20 Combination Bypasses Combination Bypasses The six bypasses described previously join a donor and a recipient with one anastomosis, or two anastomoses when an interpositional graft is used, to…
Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass
CHAPTER 14 Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass The EC-IC bypass is the prototypical bypass, the first generation of bypasses, and the first of the seven bypasses. The STA-MCA bypass, developed and…
In-Situ Bypass
CHAPTER 17 In-Situ Bypass In-Situ Bypass The in-situ bypass best exemplifies the IC-IC bypass, requiring no scalp artery, no anticipatory graft harvest, no additional incisions or tunnels, and hardly any…
Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass with Interposition Graft
CHAPTER 15 Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass with Interposition Graft EC-IC Bypass with Interposition Graft The EC-IC interpositional bypass is an oversized STA-MCA bypass that uses the same end-to-side anastomosis to the recipient…
Reanastomosis
CHAPTER 18 Reanastomosis Reanastomosis Rejoining the transected ends of two arteries after excising aneurysmal pathology reconstructs the vascular anatomy and restores the original blood flow, without an interposition graft, a…
Reimplantation
CHAPTER 16 Reimplantation Reimplantation Reimplantation is the technical equivalent of the STA-MCA bypass because it uses an end-to-side anastomosis to join an efferent branch deliberately occluded and detached from an…
Suturing Technique
CHAPTER 9 Suturing Technique Craftsmanship Like pillars and buttresses that strengthen a building, sutures join arteries together and secure their connection. And as exposed brick and beams display the builder’s…
Tissue Handling
CHAPTER 10 Tissue Handling The Other Hand The steady repetition of the bite cycle by the dominant hand gets all the attention in bypass surgery because it drives the needle…
