This study, conducted in rats, studied a new system of anastomosis, by nontransfixing clips, pinching each edge of the artery with minimal trauma. Histological examinations were performed at one week and one month in order to investigate the vascular wall in the line of anastomosis. Clinical application of this procedure was undertaken in view of the encouraging and satisfactory results obtained.
