title: The securing of a polyethylene tube prior to intravascular dye injection in anatomic microcirculation research: the three-tie technique.
abstract: A simple and reliable method for securing the cannulated polyethylene tube to the blood vessel wall prior to intravascular dye injection is described. The three-tie technique has been used in many vascular anatomic studies without any leakage of the injection fluid taking place around the tube.
