Abstract
A novel, yet simple and inexpensive, technique is described for the sa fe passage of suture material for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in small animals. The risk of haemorrhage is reduced by minimising dis section with forceps and by preventing inadvertent grasping of perivas cular connective tissue.
