Vein conduits used to enhance arterial microsurgical end-to-end suture repair: A randomized comparative study.

Abstract:

:Wrapping microsurgical sutures with a vein conduit is a well-described procedure for microsurgical nerve repair. While this has rarely been described in the context of vascular repair, this technique could increase the permeability of the sutured vessels. As part of a University Diploma in Microsurgery, 9 junior surgeons performed a comparative study of 18 microsurgical repairs on rats with and without vein sleeve. The vessels used were an external jugular vein sleeve on the end-to-end anastomosis of the common carotid artery and comparing it to this same anastomosis without a sleeve. The data analyzed were rat weight, suture time with carotid clamping time, number of stitches used, complications as well as vascular leakage and permeability of the repair at 0 and 5minutes evaluated with a patency test. The average rat body weight was 255g. Mean suture time was 52minutes in group A (sleeved repairs) and 41minutes in group B (standard repairs). The number of stitches placed was 5.1 points on average in group A and 5.6 points in group B. The time to perform the repair and the number of stitches was not statistically different between groups. The patency test was positive in 100% of cases in group A and in 78% of cases in group B. There was a significant difference between the permeability rate of the repairs, with better results in group A (p=0.03). There were two anastomotic leaks after declamping in the sleeve group and five in the standard suture group, thus 2.5 times more leaks in the group without a sleeve (p<0.01). The addition of a vein sleeve around an end-to-end arterial suture repair seems to improve its permeability and therefore its reliability.
