Summary
The suture technique for vascular anastomosis construction is becoming inadequate to meet new surgeona (TM)s demands and surgeons need an alternative way to construct a bypass in order to reduce the technical demand and standardise the quality of the surgical procedure. This book is dedicated to surgeons, students, biomedical engineers and researchers with a special interest in vascular anastomosis and bypass techniques that want to update their knowledge concerning the major determinants of anastomosis outcome and all the existing alternatives to the suture technique. The author discloses the
