title: [Effect of commonly practiced manoeuvres in vascular microsurgery. Study under the scanning electron microscope (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors studied in 100 Wistar rats the manoeuvres that may commonly be carried out during vascular microanastomosis of diameter less than 3 mm (aorta and posterior vena cava): clamping for 30 to 45 minutes, bipolar electrocoagulation of the collateral arteries, more or less marked pinching of the vascular wall. The risk of thrombosis seems all the greater when: --the surgeon is inexperienced: viz. trauma with the forceps, parietal tears at the level of the stitches, two many threads passed for hemostasis (all these factors accentuate the fibrinoid and platelet deposits); --bipolar electrocoagulation of a collateral artery applied too close to the vessel to be anastomosed (less than 1 mm.)The formation of a smooth and regular fibrinous pseudo-intima appears within 48 to 72 hours which may explain the elective onset of thromboses before this delay.
