[HSF] Acute graft failure

[alsadd]

Roberto:
Thank you for your response. The conclusion of Fabricius and I am pasting it
from Medline is:
"CONCLUSION: ST-change and elevated CK/CK-MB enzyme ratio is highly
indicative for possible graft failure and should be followed early
angiographic control to assess the need for reintervention"
What I am looking for is the situation when one takes a patient back for say
bleeding with no EKG changes suggestive of any thing the patient is
otherwise stable and at re-exploration one would a twisted or compressed
graft but the patient shows no signs of ischemia I have seen this a number
of times both now and during my residency. I need references for this
Thank you very much

Look for Alex Fabricius, Eur Jour CT Surg may be 1999. He has our experience
in post op CKMB and ECG changes

Dear Forum Members:

 

It is not uncommon to find acutely occluded graft in some patients without
EKG evidence of ischemia. I am in the process of looking it up for a talk I
just don't seem to find the references. Could some one please direct me or
quote a citation or two! Thank you
