Summary
A new method of microvascular anastomosis is presented. A sufficient sutureless telescoping anastomosis was achieved using fibrin adhesive (Tissucol, Immuno GmbH, Heidelberg, FRG) and a Fogarty embolectomy catheter (American Hospital Supply, Deutschland GmbH, Munich, FRG) as an internal splint in the abdominal aorta of Sprague-Dawley rats. The main advantage of this technique is its short application time. Histological examinations mostly showed accelerated healing compared with sutured anastomosis.
