Popis: Two new Soviet-made stapling devices, the SB-2 and the US-18, used experimentally in combined resections of the bronchus and pulmonary artery are discussed. In experiments with 17 adult mongrel dogs, the SB-2 stapler was used to connect cut ends of the bronchus and the US-18 stapler was used in plastic repair of window defects in the pulmonary artery. A circumferential suture of the bronchus with metallic staples did not interfere with normal healing of the anastomosis, and the grafts used in plastic repair of the window defects demonstrated satisfactory function in the late postoperative period.
