Abstract

A standardized method was developed for seeding endothelial cells (EC) in tubular vascular grafts. A rotational cell seeding device for tubular prostheses is presented and parameters influencing the kinetics of cell adhesion (rotation speed, graft diameter, cell suspension level, inoculated cell number) are reported. Seeding EC in 14 mm ID PTFE vascular grafts with rotation rate of 10 rph gave an adhesion rate of 80% in a homogeneous monolayer.

Leiomyosarcoma of the superior mesenteric vein: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

We report here a case of a very rare entity, a leiomyosarcoma of the mesentericoportal trunk, which was initially misdiagnosed as an unresectable pancreatic cancer invading the mesenteric vein, and which was finally treated by pancreatectomy with mesentericoportal reconstruction. The pitfalls of diagnosis and modalities of resection are discussed.

The evidence for cerebral protection: an analysis and summary of the literature.

It has been considered likely that the majority of cerebral ischaemic episodes following carotid artery stenting are due to cerebral embolisation. It is intuitive therefore, to attempt to prevent these presumptive emboli, whether they are comprised of air or formed elements, from reaching the brain. Various pharmacological and mechanical solutions are being used. The available literature is hampered by comparisons against historical controls of unprotected CAS with many confounding variables that may influence outcome. There is no clinical Level-I evidence to support the use of protection devices but Level-III and Level-IV evidence suggest benefit.
