Angled side wall microarteriotomy scissors: a new end-to-side microvascular anastomosis instrument.
Creation of a smooth side wall arteriotomy for an end-to-side microsurgical anastomosis can at times be difficult and time consuming. To facilitate this maneuver, a new end-to-side microarteriotomy scissor was designed for creation of recipient vessel openings from 0.5-2 mm in size. These new scissors and their recommended use are described.
