This experimental study was done to compare the fate of microarterial grafts versus microvenous grafts. Based on morphological aspects, patency rates, and histological features, the arterial grafts gave better long-term results than the venous grafts--due mainly to an absence of subintimal fibrotic changes in the microarterial grafts.

Penile revascularization using the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery: An alternative vascular graft.

Introduction And Relevance: Microsurgical revascularization stands as the preferred method for addressing erectile dysfunction (ED) resulting from traumatic penile arterial insufficiency. Traditional microarterial bypass surgery (MABS) techniques have typically relied on utilizing the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) as the graft vessel. However, issues such as endothelial dysfunction in the vessel and alterations in abdominal tissue can negatively impact surgical outcomes.

Introduction: Vascularized bone allotransplantation may provide new options for reconstruction of segmental defects if problems of long-term immune modulation can be solved. The current literature lacks an orthotopic large animal model, limited to bone and without the confounding effects of other tissue types, permitting a multifaceted evaluation before new methods are used clinically. The purpose of this study was to develop a large animal model for vascularized bone allotransplantation.

Background: The use of fascial perforating vessels as recipients for microvascular composite tissue autotransplants has led to vessel diameter discrepancy becoming an increasingly common finding. Little evidence, however, is available to direct the choice of anastomotic technique where a discrepancy exists. We have been studying two methods of anastomosing arteries where a small-to-large discrepancy exists-a 45° section of the smaller vessel, and invaginating the smaller vessel inside the larger.

A microanastomosis might tolerate a torsion up to 360°, but the effects of arterial microanastomosis torsion on the survival of the flap it supplies are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the consequences of microarterial anastomosis torsion on the groin flap in rats. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups.

Purpose: Microarterial anastomosis in rat small bowel transplantation (SBTx) remains technically difficult and time-consuming especially for beginners of microsurgery. In the exploration of the facilitated microarterial anastomosis strategies, we assessed the performance of n-butyl-cyanoacrylate-assisted suture technique (CAST) in comparison with simple continuous suture technique (SCST).
Methods: Allogeneic small bowel transplantation was performed in a rat combination of F344 to Lewis.
