Patency rates in end to side anastomoses in the rabbit.
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.
