Background: A novel arterial everter device was engineered to simplify microvascular coupling of arteries by reliably securing the stiff, muscular wall of arteries over coupler pins. We compare microvascular coupling with the everter device to manual suturing for arterial anastomoses in a live large animal model.

Materials and methods: In this preliminary study, bilateral external femoral arteries of five male swine were exposed and sharply divided. Arteries were anastomosed using either interrupted sutures (n = 5) or the everter device and Synovis Coupler (n = 5). The efficiency in engaging coupler pins, the time taken to perform the anastomosis, and vessel patency immediately post-op and at 1-week postanastomosis were evaluated. Vessel wall injury and luminal stenosis were compare...
