What is SVG RCA?

What is SVG medical?
Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are commonly used during coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) for severe coronary artery disease.
What are the 4 main arteries of the heart?
The right coronary artery, the left main coronary, the left anterior descending, and the left circumflex artery, are the four major coronary arteries. Blockage of these arteries is a common cause of angina, heart disease, heart attacks and heart failure.

What is Lima in CABG?

What is SVG lesion?

What is Lima LAD?
LIMA LAD is a life-saving coronary artery bypass procedure that involves the left internal mammary artery and the left anterior descending artery. It opens the heart’s blood flow, saving the life of the patient.
What is an LAD?
The left anterior descending artery (LAD) is the largest coronary artery runs anterior to the interventricular septum in the anterior interventricular groove, extending from the base of the heart to the apex.
What is portosystemic anastomosis?
Portosystemic anastomosis. Porto-systemic anastomosis also known as portocaval anastomosis is the collateral communication between the portal and the systemic venous system. Portal venous system. The portal venous system transmits deoxygenated blood from most of the gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal organs to the liver.
What is the portal venous system in the liver?
Portal venous system. The portal venous system transmits deoxygenated blood from most of the gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal organs to the liver. Substances absorbed in the GIT are processed in the liver, hepatocytes receives oxygenated blood via hepatic artery.
What happens when the portal venous system is blocked?
The portal venous system transmits deoxygenated blood from most of the gastrointestinal tract and gastrointestinal organs to the liver. When there is a blockage of the portal system, portocaval anastomosis enable the blood to still reach the systemic venous circulation.
What is the anastomosis of the colonic vein?
The anastomosis between omental and colonic veins (portal veins) with the retroperitoneal veins (systemic veins) in the region of hepatic and splenic flexure. Another anastomosis is between the ductus venosus (portal vein) and the inferior vena cava (systemic vein).
