Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a technique used in patients with severe heart failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate its effects on left ventricular afterload and fluid accumulation in lungs with electrical impedance tomography (EIT). In eight swine, incremental increases of extracorporeal blood flow (EBF) were applied before and after the induction of ischemic heart failure. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously recorded and computational analysis of EIT was used to determine lung fluid accumulation. With an increase in EBF from 1 to 4 l/min in acute heart failure the associated increase of arterial pressure (raised by 44%) was accompanied with significant decrease of electrical impedance of lung regions. Increasing EBF in healthy circulation did not cause lung impedance changes. Our findings indicate that in severe heart failure EIT may reflect fluid accumulation in lungs due to increasing EBF.

Vývoj cévní náhrady pro nízké průtoky je aktuální otázkou. Autoři představují vlastní model hledání vývoje náhrady optimálních vlastností, které vycházejí z myšlenky převzetí charakteristiky biologického modelu – veny sapheny, a naprogramování těchto vlastností do modelu konstruované náhrady. Představovaná cévní náhrada se skládá ze tří částí – nevstřebatelného scaffoldu představujícího medii a dvou vstřebatelných kolagenních vrstev – pseudointimy a pseudoadventicie. Autoři představují základní metody fyzikálního testování (inflačně-extenzní test), stejně jako další postupy, které ovlivňují konečné vlastnosti vyvíjené protézy. Mezi takové patří tvrzení kolagenu, antitrombogenní ošetření vnitřního povrchu cévní náhrady a použití metody sterilizace. Testovaný prototyp byl úspěšně ověřen implantací na ovčím modelu.
The development of a low-flow vascular prosthesis is a very topical issue. The authors present a pathway for the development of a prosthesis with optimal properties based on the idea of mimicking the characteristics of a biological model (saphenous vein graft) and programming these properties in the model of the prosthetic substitute. The vascular prosthesis presented consists of three layers – a non-absorbable scaffold representing vascular “media”, and two absorbable collagen layers – pseudointima and pseudoadventitia. The basic methods of physical testing are presented – the single axis stretch test and inflation-extension test, as well as other procedures that affect the final properties. These include collagen curing, antithrombotic treatment of the inner layer and the use of sterilization methods. The designed new graft was successfully implanted in an ovine model.

We compared graft outcome between two types of a novel composite three-layer carp-collagen-coated vascular graft in low-flow conditions in a sheep model. Collagen in group A underwent more cycles of purification than in group B in order to increase the ratio between collagen and residual fat. The grafts were implanted end-to-side in both carotid arteries in sheep (14 grafts in 7 sheep in group A, 18 grafts in 9 sheep in group B) and artificially stenosed on the right side. The flow in the grafts in group A decreased from 297±118 ml/min to 158±159 ml/min (p=0.041) after placement of the artificial stenosis in group A, and from 330±164ml/min to 97±29 ml/min (p=0.0052) in group B (p=0.27 between the groups). From the five surviving animals in group A, both grafts occluded in one animal 3 and 14 days after implantation. In group B, from the six surviving animals, only one graft on the left side remained patent (p=0.0017). Histology showed degradation of the intimal layer in the center with endothelization from the periphery in group A and formation of thick fibrous intimal layer in group B. We conclude that the ratio between collagen and lipid content in the novel three-layer graft plays a critical role in its patency and structural changes in vivo.
Electrode migration is the most common complication of spinal cord stimulation (SCS). The problem of longitudinal migration has already been solved, but lateral migration remains the most common current complication. The present article describes new electrodes fixation opportunities for the reduction of lateral migration in SCS. The pig was chosen as an animal model to illustrate a new protocol of electrode fixation for the control of lateral and longitudinal migration. The displacement of the electrode was measured using two different optical methods: the digital image stereo-correlation and the digital image processing methods. Fixation with two anchors has always considerably reduced electrode displacement and when fixation is done with two anchors and a loop then lateral migration is reduced by 62.5 % and longitudinal migration is reduced by 94.1 %. It was shown that the results are significantly different at the alpha=0.001 significance level. Based on a statistical evaluation it is possible to state that the differences between experimental results obtained for three different protocols of lead fixation are statistically significant and we can recommend the new fixation method for common practice.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to develop a prototype of an artificial blood vessel which has similar mechanical properties to a human saphenous vein graft and to experimentally verify the function of the prosthesis via ovine carotid bypass implantation. Material and methods: The prototype of an artificial graft prosthesis for low flow was developed and manufactured from a collagenous matrix and reinforcing polyester mesh. We compared the results of both the pressurisation and the mechanical stress evaluation tests of VSM with four types of hybrid vascular graft. The most similar graft (type II) was chosen for the first ovine model implantation. Results: Dominant behavior e.g. mechanical response of VSM graft in plots of circumferential and axial stress during loading is observed in circumferential direction. Average results of used VSM showed area of ideal mechanical response and the properties of artificial blood vessels were fitted into this area. Developed graft remained patent after 161 days of follow up in ovine model. Conclusions: The mechanical properties of the graft were designed and adjusted to be similar to the behaviour of human saphenous veins. This approach showed promising results and enhanced the final performance of the prosthesis.
