✦ Synopsis

The influence of multiple suture lines along a vein graft for arterial repair was evaluated in a microsurgical model. Fortyfive rats were divided into three groups. The femoral artery was repaired using one vein graft in group I, two sequential vein grafts in group II, and three grafts in group III. Patency rates were evaluated at 48 h and 10 days, and found to be 100% in all three groups. In the present study, patency was not affected by the number of suture lines. These results suggest that the use of multiple vein grafts for microarterial repair may be safe in difficult cases.

In the rabbit, posterior facial vein segments were grafted to the femoral arteries using either conventional suture technique or a mechanical absorbable pinned-ring device. The purpose of this study was to compare patency rates and anastomotic times for the two different methods. The anastomoses wer
