Research Abstract

This study applied a mechanical stapler to vascular end-to-end anastomosis to achieve an automatic aortic anastomosis between the aorta and an artificial graft. We used a computer-controlled circular stapler for the anastomosis between the porcine aorta and an artificial graft. We accomplished to achieve the automatic end-to-end anastomosis model between aorta and artificial graft of porcine under general anesthesia.
