End to side microvascular anastomosis on rat femoral vessels using only two-throw knot interrupted sutures and a comparison of Heel first versus Classic techniques.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The use of a 3-throw knot for anastomosis by microvascular neurosurgeons is the usual standard. There is an inherent belief that the third throw adds extra security to the knot; however, the third throw can make the knot heavy and unbalanced and can exert undue extra pressure on the opposing walls of the small-caliber intracranial vessels. This study evaluated the feasibility and efficiency of 2-throw reef knot interrupted sutures for an end-to-side microvascular anastomosis. METHODS:A prospective observational study of end-to-side anastomosis using a femoral artery-to-vein model was performed in 30 Sprague-Dawley rats. All anastomoses were done using 2-throw reef knot interrupted sutures. Ten procedures each were done by the heel-first, toe-first, and classic 2-ends techniques. Individual parameters were recorded for analysis. The delayed patency was confirmed by reexploration after a mean duration of 19.82 ± 8.12 days. RESULTS:The overall patency rates were 100% in the immediate period and 96.43% (27 of 28) in the delayed period. The average clamping time, average suturing time, and the average time per suture were 65.48 ± 16.93 minutes, 40.94 ± 11.22 minutes, and 3.18 ± 1.10 minutes, respectively. Two rats died in the postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS:The end-to-side microvascular anastomosis with 2-throw reef knots is feasible, with excellent immediate and delayed patency rates.
