Different types of sleeve anastomosis

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery

Abstract

Microvascular techniques are important in making routine anastomoses quicker and difficult anastomoses easier. The authors have developed three types of sleeve anastomoses for different size vessels: a three-stitch sleeve anastomosis, four-stitch sleeve anastomosis, and sidecut sleeve anastomosis. Arteriography, in vivo observation, pulsed ultrasound Doppler hemodynamic study, histology, and ultrastructural examination with scanning electron microscopy at 2 to 90 days demonstrated that all three groups of sleeve anastomoses do not stenose, do not show hemodynamically significant vasospasm, and are not complicated by aneurysm formation by 90 days. The hemodynamics were comparable to control sutured anastomoses at 2 to 4 hr postoperatively. The sleeve anastomoses left no suture material within the vessel lumen. Reendothelialization was comparable with controls at 14 days, and the long-term patency rates were similar (p > 0.05). The operative times for all three types of sleeve anastomoses were significantly shorter than sutured control anastomoses (p < 0.001). Although limited by available vessel length and diameter, the sleeve anastomosis is a useful technique for the microsurgeon.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
