  • Title: "Closed-open" arterial embolectomy.
    Author: Andros G, Harris RW, Dulawa LB, Oblath RW.
    Journal: Surgery; 1986 Jan; 99(1):102-5. PubMed ID: 3510476.
    Abstract:
    Peroperative evaluation of the success of thromboembolectomy is achieved with a technique that employs interrupted horizontal mattress sutures. Angled traction on the sutures functionally closes the transverse arteriotomy while restoration of circulation is assessed. The arteriotomy may be opened for repassing embolectomy catheters by relieving the traction; if circulation is satisfactory the sutures are tied.
