S. Wu et al., EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY AND CLINICAL-APPLICATION OF AN AIR-PRESSURE VASCULAR CLAMP, European journal of plastic surgery, 20(5), 1997, pp. 236-238
An air pressure vascular clamp was developed for vascular surgery, On
90 rats, 172 vascular injury experiments and 37 vascular anastomoses e
xperiments were done to compare this clamp with two other vascular cla
mps commonly used clinically. Using light and electron microscopic exa
minations, it was found that the air pressure vascular clamp was super
ior, Satisfactory results have been obtained in clinical applications
on 43 patients with 119 vascular anastomoses.
