The ability to anastomose successfully and reliably small vessel of 1mm diameter has been established experimentallly and clinically.Chase et al.reported better results with simple interrupted sutures than with a continous suture in 1962.
O'Brien reporerted recently acceptable results with continous suture technique.But fot above results,there is scarce study concerning this technique and it was decided to investigate this method.
32 anastomoses were carried out on femoral artery and vein of rat,17 of arterial and 15 of venous anastomoses.petency was tested from 7 to 10 days.16 of 17 arterial anastomoses were patent at explotation,represents a patency of 94% and 11 of 15 venous anastomoses were patent,represents a patency of 73% respectivly.Cotinous suture technique gives many advantages especially in small arteries,and also has a few unfavorable problems during operation.
