[The method of vascular anastomosis formation]

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Biomedical Engineering
• Materials Science

Background:

• Vascular anastomosis is crucial for reconstructive surgery.
• Current methods face challenges like stenosis and morbidity.
• Need for improved techniques ensuring long-term patency.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present an innovative method for vascular anastomosis formation.
• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new technique.

Main Methods:

• Development of a vascular anastomosis technique utilizing a spiral nitinol carcass.
• The carcass is constructed from a 0.1 mm diameter nitinol thread.
• Patient follow-up included duplex scanning from 5 to 12 months.

Main Results:

• Excellent patency of vascular anastomoses observed.
• Compensated blood flow in the anastomotic area confirmed by duplex scanning.
• Significant reduction in postoperative morbidity achieved.

Conclusions:

• The nitinol carcass method offers a safe and effective approach to vascular anastomosis.
• This technique shortens procedure time and prevents vascular stenosis.
• Improved patient outcomes are associated with this innovative method.
