[The axillo-axillary bypass].

Abstract

Personal experience with two cases of symptomatic occlusion of the subclavian artery treated with axillo-axillary by-pass is reported. The operating technique, in which the second portion of the axillary artery and a dacron blood conductor are employed, is described and the various transthoracic and extrathoracic operations that have been proposed are reviewed along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. It is concluded that axillo-axillary by-pass is a simple solution for a complex haemodynamic, clinical and therapeutic problem.

[One-stage coronary artery bypass and extra-anatomical bypass operation in a patient with ischemic heart disease and Leriche syndrome; report of a case].

With the overall increase in ischemic heart disease (IHD), cases combining arteriosus sclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremity and IHD are on the rise. Each case is unique and requires the use of various criteria to select between methods of operating. This case involves IHD with low cardiac function, conbined with ASO of the collateral circulation fed to the legs through the internal thoracic artery and a calcified abdominal aorta refractory to anatomical reconstruction. We selected a one-stage operation of axillo-bifemoral bypass grafting and coronary artery bypass grafting. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 23rd day after operation.

Axillary arterial thrombosis secondary to anterior shoulder dislocation.

We report the case of a 59-year-old male patient who returned to the Hospital with severe pain in the right upper arm, 9 hours after reduction of an anterior dislocation of the right shoulder. A thrombosis of the axillary artery was quickly diagnosed and the rapid treatment allowed revascularisation in the arm without any major consequences.
