Aorto-Iliac Bypass Technique in Pigs

摘要

Aorto-iliac bypass can be used in all situations of aorta artery and/or iliac artery occlusion. This is done with synthetic vascular prostheses. The polyethylene therephthalate (Dacron) vascular prostheses and expanded polytetrafluorethylene vascular prostheses are the most used in human medicine. The conducted research during 2008-2009 in Surgery Clinic of Veterinary Medicine Faculty from Cluj-Napoca aimed achievement of the aorto-iliac bypass in 6 pigs. It was used Dacron vascular prostheses and Prolene 4-0 suture threads. Vascular prostheses have been precoagulated and both ends tailored before implantation. The animals were anaesthetized through gas narcosis with Isoflurane. The surgery technique involves white line laparatomy, aorta artery and iliac arteries identification and isolation and achievement of end-to-side anastomoses between both prosthesis and aorta artery, prosthesis and external iliac artery respectively. Antibiotics were administrated five days after surgery. During 30 days animals were monitored, period in which no change of the followed parameters was recorded.
