A new technique for easier end-to-side anastomosis of veins is presented. By applying a few traction sutures to the edge of the venotomy and tenting the venous wall, thereby keeping the venotomy open, end-to-side anastomosis of the vein can be easily performed.

Abstract
A simple technique is described that facilitates a proper procedure of venous endβtoβend anastomosis during neurosurgical procedures. This technique, which consists of insertion of a Venflon tube in the vein during anastomosis, results in easier handling and proper apposition of the vein, resulting in an improved quality of the anastomosis. The technique was successfully applied in a patient after parasagittal meningioma resection, and the patency of the cortical vein was confirmed postoperatively on magnetic resonance venography.

The repercussions on the venous wall of the creation of 20 artero-venous anastomoses (AVA) between the femoral artery and vein of the rat have been evaluated. The rats were killed 7, 15, 30, and 90 days after AVA, and AVAs were examined by optical microscopy and by scanning electronic microscopy. De
