Abstract This was a study to compare computational and experimental results of flow field inside the venous anastomosis of an arteriovenous (AV) graft. Laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) measurements were conducted inside an upscaled end-to-side graft model under steady flow conditions at Reynolds number 1820 which is representative of the in vivo flow conditions inside a human AV graft. The distribution of the velocity and turbulence intensity was measured at several locations in the plane of the bifurcation. This flow field was simulated using computation fluid dynamics (CFD) and shown to be in good agreement. Under steady flow conditions, the flow field demonstrated an unsteady character (transition to turbulence).

CONTEXT: Iatrogenic vascular problems due to laparoscopy are a well recognized problem and lead to significant repercussions. In this context, a ten-year review of cases topic is presented, based on experience gained while heading two important vascular surgery services. CASES: Five patients with vascular injuries during elective laparoscopy are described. These patients presented with seven lesions of iliac vessels. All cases were evaluated immediately and required laparotomy, provisional hemostasis and urgent attendance by a vascular surgeon. Direct suturing was performed in three cases. One aortoiliac bypass and one ilioiliac reversed venous graft were made. Venous lesions were sutured. One case of a point-like perforation of the small bowel was found. There were no deaths and no complications during the postoperative period. DISCUSSION: Important points on this subject are made, and advice is given. There needs to be immediate recognition of the vascular injury, and expert repair by a vascular surgeon is recommended, in order to significantly reduce the degree of complications.
