title: [Experimental study and clinical application of end-to-side (transverse incision) anastomosis between small arteries].
abstract: The results of end to side anastomoses with longitudinal or transverse incision on the transverse limb were investigated. The anastomosis of the superficial epigastric artery to the femoral artery in rabbits served as the experimental model. The results demonstrated that the microartery end to side anastomosis with transverse arteriotomy is a more preferable anastomosis style with higher patency, easier arteriotomy and suturing, and it effectively prevents anastomotic stoma spasm or stenosis, and in accord with vascular physiological function. It is worthy to be recommended. The clinical successful cases are also reported.
