Abstract
The bursting and tensile strength of laser-assisted anastomosis (LA) was assessed and compared with conventional suture anastomosis (CA) using a standard rabbit carotid artery model.LA arteries demonstrated lower bursting strengths than those of CA controls, with significant differences at 3 days (p<0.01). LA arteries anastomosed with 3 stay sutures demonstrated lower bursting strengths than 4 or 5 stay sutures at 1 hour (p<0.01). These results may explain the late aneurysm formation. Additional stay suture seemed to prevent such complication.LA arteries consistently demonstrated lower tensile strengths than those of CA with significant differences at 1 hour, 3 days(p<0.01), and 7 days(p<0.05).
