UCSF [University of California San Franscisco] Medical Center is one of the few medical centers in the U. S.

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
CONT

Because the latissimus dorsi flap is not completely disconnected from its source at any point in the reconstruction surgery, it is therefore classified as a pedicle flap. During latissimus dorsi flap breast reconstruction, a tunnel is created beneath the skin from the back muscle to the breast area. Through this tunnel the surgeon transfers the flap; the few blood vessels that must be cut during the procedure are then reconnected with microsurgery. Once the flap is in place, the surgeon forms the tissue into the desired shape and sutures it into position. Finally, the back and chest incisions are closed.

L'une des méthodes de reconstruction du sein fait appel à une greffe par lambeau de muscle grand dorsal (latissimus dorsi). Un lambeau musculo-cutané est prélevé dans le dos et sous le bras, et est transféré dans la zone thoracique où il est utilisé pour reconstruire un volume mammaire.

CONT

We are seeking someone with experience in surgery, microsurgery and immunology to join a team of investigators studying transplant immunology. This person will participate in two areas of cardiac transplant research : Accelerated graft arteriosclerosis in allografts and hyperacute rejection of xenografts. The mechanisms of accelerated arteriosclerosis are being investigated by a multidisciplinary research program using cardiac and carotid artery transplants in both mice and rats.

Key term(s)
  • accelerated arteriosclerosis

Domaine(s)

CONT

Le rejet chronique, d'étiologie multiple mais avant tout immunologique, est responsable d'une altération progressive et irréversible de la fonction du greffon. Histologiquement, il réalise une vasculopathie chronique spécifique de l'organe greffé, essentiellement fibrosante et proliférante. Les lésions d'artériosclérose accélérée du greffon diffèrent de celles de l'athérome classique, car elles sont diffuses et circonférentielles, avec hyperplasie concentrique de l'intima, respectant la limitante élastique interne et d'évolution rapide en quelques mois.
