title: A soluble internal splint for experimental vascular anastomosis. Technical note.
abstract: The authors have developed, in dogs, a nonsuture vascular anastomosis utilizing plastic adhesive and a water-soluble spindle tube composed of 80% saccharose, 16% glucose, and 4% dextrin. The patency rate of end-to-end arterial anastomosis was 70% in arteries with an external diameter of 2.5 to 4.0 mm. The device is easily applied, saves time, and does not require any special instruments.
