## Abstract ## Background. Failure of free flaps is frequently because of failure of the venous vascular anastomosis. A new venous anastomosis technique that uses the stump of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is described, with preliminary data on operative outcomes. ## Methods. Retrospective ana

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.
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
