    Abstract

    A new sutureless technique was developed to repair small blood vessels. The effectiveness of this technique was demonstrated using rat abdominal aorta as a model allowing surgery time, and recovery over a six week period. A comparison was also made with the conventional microsuture repair for further validation of the technique.
