Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new microsurgical triangular cutting scissors facilitating end-to-side anastomoses has been developed. The instrument removes oval pieces of tissue from the vascular wall with a single cut. This has several advantages over conventional double cuts with straight microscissors. Preferential use of end-to-side anastomoses has been advocated by several authors, one of the main reasons for this being preservation of the distal blood flow in the artery used in the recipient bed. It also has been reported that vascular occlusions are less frequent with this type of coupling. Another important indication for end-to-side anastomoses is a significant discrepancy in vessel size. One of the more demanding tasks in making an end-to-side anastomosis is the performance of a perfect arteriotomy. With the aim of facilitating the arteriotomy in end-to-side anastomoses, a new microsurgical instrument has been developed.
