bypass vessel

a blood vessel which joins arteries and veins, thus bypassing capillaries. Constriction or dilation regulates the blood flow through the capillaries. See ARTERIOLE and Fig. 48 .

The lack of response to all resuscitation efforts and the development of cardiac standstill in a matter of minutes alongside convulsions during cardiac arrest suggests a massive thrombosis of not only the bypass vessel but probably all the coronary arteries and major cerebral vessels.

In a multivariate analysis, use of a saphenous vein as the bypass vessel was associated with an 82% increase in long-term patency compared with other types of bypass vessels, Dr.

A: Bypass vessels, particularly when veins are used in contrast to arteries, can clog or narrow (note President Bill Clinton's recent incident), but it usually occurs years after the surgery.

"The purpose of the trial is to facilitate formation of bypass vessels by accelerating a natural process called angiogenesis or collateral vessel formation," Dr.

The patency of bypass vessels created from veins that were harvested using endoscopy was comparable to the patency of veins harvested with open surgery, after a mean follow-up of 7 months, Dr.

Lower costs and complications with endoscopic vein harvesting. (Compared With Open Surgery)

Artificial blood vessels would be particularly beneficial for patients requiring coronary artery or peripheral artery bypass, and who do not have enough veins or arteries to use as bypass vessels. An estimated 100,000 patients undergo bypass surgery each year in the United States.

Human vascular tissue engineering feasible but challenging

The other study indicates that revving up blood concentrations of high-density lipoprotein--HDL, or good cholesterol--helps maintain clear bypass vessels.

Two approaches bolster heart-bypass outlook

At 5 years of follow-up, 63% of the bypass vessels maintained secondary patency and limbs were successfully salvaged in 78% of the patients.
