    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Interventions
    • Surgical Techniques

    Context:

    • Calcified plaque presents a significant challenge in vascular surgery.
    • Standard anastomosis procedures can be difficult or impossible in heavily calcified vessels.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a new surgical technique for overcoming calcified plaque during revascularization.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of preliminary hole drilling in 14 surgical cases.

    Summary:

    • The technique involves using a triangular needle to create a pilot hole in calcified plaque before inserting a suturing needle.
    • This method was successfully applied in 14 patients, enabling previously impossible or less satisfactory revascularizations.
    • The approach allows for more robust and reliable anastomosis in challenging vascular anatomy.

    Impact:

    • Enhances the ability to perform complex revascularization procedures.
    • Improves the quality and success rate of vascular anastomosis in calcified lesions.
    • Offers a valuable alternative for surgeons dealing with difficult vascular anatomy, potentially expanding treatment options.
