Objective To observe the influence of endoscopic harvesting technique on the prevalence of leg-wound complications after coronary artery bypass grafting, and to assess histologically the potential trauma to the vein. Methods From August,2003 to August, 2005, 256 patients undergoing CABG had saphenous vein harvested by endoscopic harvesting system. About 4 mm proximal and distal vein end segment of 10 patient undergoing endosocopic and conventional harvesting respectively were examined with light and electro-microscope. Results The mean number of vein grafts of ESVH was 2.2 and the mean endoscopic harvest time was (45?20) minutes. There was no complication (incision infection, edema of lower extremity, lymphangitis and fat necrosis) occurred. Stay in bed time was 2～3 days. There was no difference in result of light and electro-microscopy. Conclusion Endoscopic vein harvesting in coronary artery bypass grafting can decreases the prevalence of postoperative leg-wound infections, postoperative pain, lying time and hospital stay, and increase the postoperative mobility ability, especially in patient with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the endoscopic harvesting technique may do no additional trauma to the saphenous vein.

Objective To evaluate the value of Feridex in demonstrating small focal lesions of the liver on MRI and to discuss the optimal scan time after intravenous administration of Feridex. Methods Small focal lesions in the liver were found on ultrasound or CT in 17 patients. Conventional MR plain scan and Gd-DTPA enhanced scan were performed. One to three days later, T 2 weighted imaging was repeated at 0.5 h, 3 h, and 6 h after Feridex was administered intravenously over 30-40 min at a dose of 0.05 ml/kg. The pre- and post-contrast T 2WI were compared and analyzed in terms of lesion detectability and signal change. Results Twenty-one lesions with diameter smaller than 1 cm were found on the Feridex enhanced images, and only 8 lesions were found on the conventional MR images. The small hepatic cancers, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), and regenerated nodules had different signal changes on the Feridex images, which made the differential diagnoses easier. The signal of the liver decreased significantly (P0.05). Conclusion Fridex enhanced MR images could not only improve the detection of small focal lesions, but also provide evidence for differential diagnoses.
