Veins01:17

Veins

8.8K
Veins are an integral part of our circulatory system, serving as the blood vessels that transport blood from all body regions to the heart. They are a network of hollow tubes that carry blood low in oxygen from the body's cells back to the heart for reoxygenation. Veins are crucial for maintaining the body's overall fluid balance and the continuous circulation of blood.

The structure of veins is specifically designed to assist in the low-pressure transportation of...

Veins of Thorax01:19

Veins of Thorax

The azygos system is a crucial part of the body's circulatory system and drains most of the thorax. It comprises the azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory hemiazygos veins.
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

Veins of Lower Limbs

The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...

Veins as Blood Reservoirs01:10

Veins as Blood Reservoirs

7.9K
Veins, while chiefly responsible for circulating blood back to the heart, also function as storage vessels for blood. They house approximately 64 percent of the body's total blood volume, a feat made possible by their high capacitance—the inherent ability to expand and accommodate large volumes of blood, even under low pressure. The large diameter and thin walls of veins augment their distensibility, significantly more so than arteries, due to their classification as capacitance...

Overview of Systemic Veins01:11

Overview of Systemic Veins

1.2K
Systemic veins are crucial blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood from various body tissues back to the heart. There are three systemic veins that return deoxygenated blood to the heart, they are as follows.
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the...

Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis01:18

Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis

1.6K
The human body is a complex system of interconnected parts, and the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. One key component of this system is the inferior vena cava, a large vein responsible for returning blood from the abdominopelvic viscera and abdominal walls to the heart.
The inferior vena cava is fed by numerous smaller veins. The lumbar veins, for instance, drain the posterior abdominal wall, emptying both directly into the inferior vena cava and into the...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Minimally invasive techniques and improved graft technology facilitate complex thoracic aortic surgeries.
  • Limited surgical access presents challenges in treating ascending aorta and aortic arch pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of J-shaped partial sternotomy combined with innominate vein cannulation.
  • To present surgical outcomes for patients with ascending aorta and aortic arch diseases.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 23 patients undergoing aortic surgery between January 2014 and January 2016.
  • Inclusion criteria: ascending aorta and aortic arch pathologies requiring J-shaped partial sternotomy and innominate vein cannulation.
  • Evaluation of operative findings, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) parameters, postoperative results, and complications.

Main Results:

  • No mortality or cerebrovascular accidents were observed in the study cohort.
  • Mean CPB peak flow was 4.6±0.4 L/min, with no intraoperative CPB issues.
  • One case of left arm swelling occurred after innominate vein ligation, successfully treated with elevation.

Conclusions:

  • J-shaped partial sternotomy with innominate vein cannulation is a reliable and effective method for ascending aorta and aortic arch operations.
  • This technique optimizes the use of limited operative fields, even with complex pathologies.
  • The approach is adaptable for use with hybrid systems in descending aorta interventions.
