Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 " perigraft " is incorrectly used. " peri " means around and blood does not flow around the graft but within the graft. I think blood flow through the vessel is meant. This would be " Blutdurchfluss " in German. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 I just guessed and entered " Endoleckage " in Google - bingo! Geli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 I just did a quick google search and found " perigraft hematoma " and " perigraft seroma " as complications of vascular grafts. I thought, if there is a leakage, the blood cannot " flow " around the graft. Therefore, I thought the word may have been used incorrectly. Maybe perigraft hematoma is meant.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Hi Geli, I have translated quite a bit of vascular graft material and have frequently encountered " perigraft seromas " , def: " Acute perigraft seromas are defined as " areas of clear, sterile fluid, confined within a nonsecretory fibrous pseudomembrane surrounding a vascular graft " and were first reported by Kaupp et al in 1979 in Dacron grafts " This is probably not exactly what you need, but these guys are translated as Serome im Implantantbereich or das Implantat umgebende Serome. Perhaps this will help. Ulrike > > > " perigraft " is incorrectly used. " peri " means around and blood does > not flow > > around the graft but within the graft.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi, y'all, just saw your mails about perigraft flow. As a surgeon also doing vascular procedures I just wanted to clear up some of your questions. Geli is right, the standard term is endoleak in English and Endoleckage in German. The " Endo " does not refer to a leak through the wall but this: To quote from the Bible of Vascular Surgery (Rutherford, 5e): Endoleak, a complication peculiar to ENDOLUMINAL aneurysm repair, is defined as the persistence of blood FLOW (sic! no simple hematoma or seroma but actual flow) outside the graft lumen but within the aneurysm sac or adjacent vessels in which the graft is deployed. Thus you do not get perigraft flow in a normal bypass procedure. If you search medline or multimedica.de you get your hits for Endoleckage. So, Geli answered her own question and all the points go to her.
