This study describes our experience using an improved technique for microsurgical sleeve anastomosis of arteries. Modifications of previously described techniques include utilization of a sidecut and placement of the two stitches within separate vertical planes. In 40 arteries, we attained a patency

β¦ Synopsis
The left carotid artery of 12 Sprague-Dawley rats was sectioned and anastomoses immediately performed utilizing a new technique termed coupled suturing. Patency and constriction were assessed immediately postoperatively and at 1, 2, and 3 weeks. Specimens were also evaluated by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Vessels healed well with excellent patency and edge eversion. With the development of a specialized needle, coupled suture could prove to be a reasonable alternative to current methods of anastomosis. Its main advantage is better intimal eversion, which decreases the risk of thrombosis.

## Abstract A refined technique for continuous suturing of endβtoβend anastomoses is presented along with a study in which the continuousβsuture technique was compared with the standard interruptedβsuture technique in endβtoβend anastomoses in the femoral arteries of 20 rats. The results of this co
Microvascular anastomoses were performed on rat common carotid arteries using either continuous or interrupted sutures. The contralateral common carotid artery was ligated to create a demand situation. At 6 months, there was no statistically significant difference between the diameters of vessels an
The ring technique for end-to-side microvascular anastomosis employs a resorbable polyglycolic acid ring to prevent stenosis and spasm at the anastomotic site. In 20 rats, the ring technique was compared with the conventional technique for constructing end-to-side anastomoses between the femoral (0.
