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

โฆ Synopsis
This is an experimental study comparing the suturing time and patency rate of a spiral interrupted suturing technique to those of conventional interrupted and continuous suturing technique in end-to-end as well as end-to-side anastomosis. The spiral interrupted suturing technique requires less time for either end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis than conventional interrupted suturing technique, and does not result in stenosis as shown in the venous end-to-end anastomosis by continuous suturing technique.
