HEMODYNAMIC AND HISTOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES IN END-TO-SIDE ANASTOMOSES
An end-to-side anastomosis is often a necessity in replantation surgery.
This study examines the effects of elliptical versus slit arteriotomy
and the angle of anastomosis on vessel patency and aneurysm formation.
Forty male rats were divided into four groups of ten rats each. The
right and left common iliac arteries were selected as a model. The
results showed no significant statistical difference in patency rates
among our four experimental groups. The end-to-side anastomotic
technique of choice uses the elliptical arteriotomy placed at a
90-degrees angle. It provides good visualization and easy suture
placement
