title: [Anastomosis of small artery using ZT medical adhesive and soluble stent].
abstract: The conventional technique of interrupted suture in microvascular anastomosis is difficult to perform and timeconsuming. A new method with ZT medical adhesive and soluble intravascular stent is introduced. Using this method, end-to-end anastomosis of small arteries could be performed easily and quickly. Both the patency rate and histopathologic changes at the anastomosis sites were examined. In comparison with suture technique, similar patency rate was obtained. Inflammatory reaction in mid and outer layers of the vessel was observable and reendothelialization of the intima was identical.
