title: [Do resorbable suture materials permit safe vascular anastomoses?].
abstract: Vascular surgery in growing organisms is still problematic. Especially in surgical therapy of coarctation of the aorta, high restenose rates are documented if non-absorbable polypropylene and running suture technique ist used. Theoretically, absorbable suture material allows a running suture technique with less restenose rates. Our study compares absorbable (polyglyconat and polydioxanon) with non-absorbable (polypropylene) suture material for repair of aorta in growing dogs. Anastomoses performed with absorbable suture material show after one year very good functional results without any local complications. In conclusion we can say that absorbable suture material allows formation of safety vascular anastomoses and doesn't impair growth of anastomoses.
