title: Patency rates in end to side anastomoses in the rabbit.
abstract: It is suggested that more widespread use of the end to side microvascular suturing technique should be made, especially in arteries. A simple experimental practice model in the rabbit is suggested. Patency rates comparable to end to end anastomosis can be achieved.
