The reference number and the technique are indicated parenthetically in the columns. The techniques are designated as follows a, tail cuff in conscious mice b, carotid artery in awake mice 24 h after surgery with isoflurane c, carotid artery in awake mice 3 h after surgery with halothane d, carotid artery in awake mice 24 h after surgery with pentobarbital e, carotid artery in mice under pentobarbital anesthesia f, telemetry in awake mice 1 wk after surgery with isoflurane g, echo under anesthesia h, echo in conscious mice i, femoral artery telemeter 10 d after ketamine and xylazine anesthesia j, femoral artery in awake mice 3 d after surgery with pentobarbital. 

Minor surgery within past 10 days, including fiver and kidney biopsy, thoracocentesis, lumbar puncture. Arterial puncture at a noncompressible site within past 14 days (see below for femoral artery puncture). Pregnant (up to 10 days postpartum) or nursing woman. ... 

The most widely used heart assist device, other than the heart-lung machine routinely used in surgery, is the intraaortic balloon pump (lABP) which consists of a PEUU balloon mounted on a hollow catheter. The lABP is Inserted into the aorta via the femoral artery and is then expanded and contracted by an external pumping system to match the heart beat. While this device does provide significant Improvement in circulation and also allows the heart to rest partially after a myocardial infarction, the mortality rate is still 65-90 ( 8). 

As described before, chemokine inhibition may be a useful approach for the prevention of restenosis after coronary surgery or atherosclerosis. This concept has been further substantiated in vivo through the use of the broad spectrum vCKBP M3. Thus, systemic M3 expression from a transgene, or delivery of recombinant M3 protein, have been shown to reduce intimal hyperplasia after femoral artery injury [40] and aortic allograft transplantation [25], respectively.

The main source of blood supply to the penis (Fig. 2.2a) is usually through the internal pudendal artery, a branch of the internal iliac artery. In many instances, however, accessory arteries arise from the external iliac, obturator, vesical, and/or femoral arteries, and may occasionally become the dominant or only arterial supply to the corpus cavernosum (Breza et al. 1989). Damage to these accessory arteries during radical prostatectomy or cystectomy may result in vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) after surgery (Aboseif et al. 1994 Kim et al. 1994).

If the recipient had previous open heart surgery (a situation not uncommon for heart transplant recipients) we usually dissect the common femoral artery and femoral vein for a short distance in one of the groins. Umbilical tapes are placed around the vessels and everything is prepared for emergency femoral cannulation. Cardiopulmonary bypass can be established immediately if there are serious complications during chest reopening or stepwise division of fibrous adhesions.
