Desmopressin acetate decreases blood loss after cardiac surgery by activating platelets. We studied whether this effect was detrimental to small-caliber vein grafts in rats. Thirty minutes before femoral artery grafting with 0.75-mm-diameter reverse autogenous saphenous vein grafts, 20 rats received

## Abstract Techniques for obtaining and implanting vein grafts in the femoral arteries of rats are described. Grafts 5 mm in length can be removed from the femoral vein without ligating any side branches; a 15โmm segment is the maximum graft that can be obtained from the femoral vein in a rat. Thi
In 78 male Wistar rats, the gracilis anterior muscles were devascularized and transplanted into the femoral region. In one experimental group, the muscles were transplanted with their innervation intact, in a second group denervated muscles were transplanted. The ipsilateral saphenous artery and vei
