Abstract:
Microvascular anastomoses were performed on rat common carotid arteries using either continuous or interrupted sutures. The contralateral common carotid artery was ligated to create a demand situation. At 6 months, there was no statistically significant difference between the diameters of vessels anastomosed with continuous sutures and those with interrupted sutures.
