title: [Suturing technique for calcified arteries (author's transl)].
abstract: It consists of drilling a preliminary hole in the calcified plaque with the sharp end of a triangular needle prior to inserting the suturing needle. this technique was successfully applied in 14 cases. It enabled us to perform revascularizations which would have been impossible otherwise, or to carry out more satisfactory operations than if anastomosis had to be performed at other sites.
