Anatomical concepts to be observed when performing a vascular junction.
An anatomical study shows that the vascular junctions are always very well rounded in accordance with the direction of the blood flow. When performing an anastomosis, the further one departs from this configuration, which we can define as perfect, the more flow disturbances are likely to arise. This may jeopardize the satisfactory outcome of surgery.
