Evolution of mechanical vascular anastomotic techniques / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Mechanical vascular anastomosis is a technique that uses special vascular anastomotic devices to entirely or partly substitute vascular anastomotic suturing . With the development of manufacture and the emergence of new biomaterials, this technique gained great progress and a large number of research both on preclinical and clinical has been carried out since the 50～60s of last century. The present paper reviewed the development of mechanical vascular anastomosis, analysed their advantages and deficiencies, and pointed out the research trend on these techniques.
