Small arterial anastomoses: experimental models applicable to microneurosurgical practice.
Four main models of vascular microsurgical anastomoses in rabbits are described with reference to revascularization procedures in man. Some technical expedients designed to improve the patency rate, are outlined. This preliminary report emphasizes the value of laboratory training to achieve successful results with microneurosurgical treatment of cerebral ischemia.
