Both sutures produced similar compliance and thickness profiles. Polybutester initially produces a more compliant anastomosis when both artery and graft are compliant, reducing anastomotic compliance mismatch. However, this benefit may not apply when the anastomosis includes a vessel of low compliance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
