โœฆ Synopsis

Judicious use of a short segment of a reversed autogenous vein graft may facilitate certain microanastomosis serving as a "coupler" between recipient and donor vessels. This technique is of particular value for simplifying end-to-side anastomoses with diseased recipient arteries, and simultaneously allows enhancement of flow by creation of a wide opening. This concept may also be applied to circumvent a significant size discrepancy between flap and inflow vessels.

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.
