End-to-end anastomosis between a prosthesis and a vein of different diameters: a technique that maintains a straight
1Department of Surgery, Hôpital Communal, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
Abstract:
In a composite femoropopliteal bypass, the intermediate anastomosis between a vascular prosthesis and the available vein is often difficult to carry out because of a discrepancy of the diameter between the two vessels. The end-to-end anastomosis is performed by working with the elasticity of the venous tissue resulting in anastomotic kinking. A technique keeping the vascular axis straight between two vessels of different diameters and elasticity is presented.
