Popis: Summary Twenty arterial anastomoses were performed upon ten weanling pigs. A continuous end-on suture was used in sixteen anastomoses. The arterial cuff 'varied in width from o.5 to 1.5 mm. The continuous everting mattress suture technic was employed in four additional anastomoses, during the performance of which the suture was interrupted at one point. No narrowing of the anastomoses produced by the sutures was observed in any of these experiments performed in growing pigs.
