A New and Easier Way to Anastomose Microvessels: An Experimental Study in Rats

Pages 291-294 | Received 20 Nov 1978, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

A new technique for microvascular anastomosis, telescoping one vessel into the other requiring only 2 sutures, is described. In 28 arterial and 15 venous anastomoses no failures were seen as recorded 3 weeks postoperatively by micro dissection, micro angiography, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It is concluded, from this experimental study in rats, that the new anastomosis is faster and easier to perform and at least as reliable as the conventional end to end anastomosis.
