Abstract:
There are different techniques of arterial anastomosis. The selection of the most suitable technique is based on multiple evaluations, which include the position and direction of inserting point of suture, suturing procedure, anastomotic tension, suture intervals, pathogenesis and wall thickness of the artery, and satisfactory field of the anastomotic site. It is important to perform an accurate anastomosis to ensure enough blood flow without bleeding at the anastomotic site. Carrying out an accurate basic technique can prevent such complications of anastomosis as occlusion, pseudoaneurysm, and infection.
