Small artery anastomosis, using a cuff of dura mater and a tissue adhesive.
A new and simple technique for the anastomosis of small arteries, using a lyophilized dural cuff and a tissue adhesive, is presented. The feasibility of this new technique was demonstrated on 26 carotid arteries in rats. Possible indications for it are noted.
