Primary experimental study on a new sutureless vascular bonding method / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective This paper is to study a new sutureless vascular bonding method. Methods New-Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to one experimental group and one control group. 10 end-to-end bonding on rabbit femoral arteries (1.2mm vessel) were performed using the experimental technique with histoacryl glue (OB) and a central channel soluble stent. In the control group, 10 rabbit femoral arteries (1.2mm vessel) were anastomosed with the standard suture method. The patency rates and anastomotic time were recorded. The late anastomoses were evaluated with arteriograph and stoma tissue pathological section. Results The anastomosis mean time of the experimental group is 7.91 minutes and the one of the control group is 12.90 minutes. The immediate patency rates of two groups are both 100% and the late patency rates are 80% and 90% respectively. There are no haemorrhage when the clamp released and no distortion and stricture caused by sutures. Conclusion The sutureless vascular bonding method has no needs for suture needle and line, and thus the possible injuries during suture are reduced. The stent makes the vessel free from stoma stricture and binder invasion. The stoma leakage is also avoided through the adhensive. The enhanced suture speed results from the short clotting time and the hollow structure of the stent. With all the above-mentioned excellences, the method proves simple and efficient.
