This was to avoid making an incision into the amniotic sac prior to localization of the course of the vasa previa vessels in the exposed membranes underneath the uterine incision.
The combination of blade plate fixation and morcellised bone is the preferred method for some foot and ankle surgeons due to the ability to provide rigid fixation, avoid a plantar foot incision and provide good clinical results [7, 8, 9].
Additionally, avoiding a ventricular incision can better preserve postoperative ventricular function.
Local tissue reconstruction offers advantages in preserving the blood supply of the reconstructed tissue whilst avoiding a separate incision and partial defunctioning of other structures.
This design has dual advantages: 1) It avoids a second incision to subjects and thus minimizes any possible influence from previous sampling trauma; and 2) Using separate groups of subjects increases the generalizability of the findings and thus improves the validity of our data.
In theory, the treatment could also benefit any patient hoping to avoid a large normal scar, say from a surgical incision, but RXi has not yet tested this idea.
Instead of a conventional high-flow EC-IC bypass (ECA-RA-MCA or ECA-SV-MCA), an STA-RA-MCA bypass has some obvious advantages [ 1], such as needing a shorter interpositional graft and avoiding an additional cervical skin incision.
The double patch technique via the right ventricle was reported to be an alternative approach for avoiding a left ventricular incision and providing a better surgical view with the help of intra-operative epicardial echo [7].
