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

Abstract
Albino rats were used to determine the effects of the reapplication of microvascular clamps in veins after anastomosis. The results demonstrate that, if necessary, microvascular clamps can be reapplied either proximal, or both proximal and distal to a venous anastomosis for up to 30 minutes, thus allowing a suture to be redone or the lumen to be explored with no loss of patency.

The inferior epigastric venous flap of the rat was chosen for experimental studies of vascular flow alterations. The long saphenous vein was not selected for use; preliminary studies involving forced retrograde injection demonstrated that it drains blood primarily from the leg and foot, not from its
## Abstract Clinical and experimental studies have been conducted to improve the survival of venous flaps. As a result of these studies, although various survival mechanisms were raised, none obtained satisfactory information. Venous stasis, and the resultant venous thrombosis, is a factor that dec
