Title: An experimental model for side-to-side microvascular anastomosis. Author: Matsumura N, Endo S, Hamada H, Kurimoto M, Hirashima Y, Takaku A. Journal: J Reconstr Microsurg; 1999 Nov; 15(8):581-3. PubMed ID: 10608738. Abstract: Side-to-side microvascular anastomosis may be required in certain clinical situations, although the technique is difficult and the incidence of usage remains low. A new experimental model using rat femoral vessels for side-to-side microvascular anastomosis is presented, in which 100 percent patency was accomplished immediately and was maintained for 7 days after anastomosis. This model can provide a training tool for acquisition of advanced microsurgical technique for side-to-side anastomosis of small vessels.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
