✓ The authors studied the damage to blood vessels 1 to 2 mm in diameter caused by the most commonly used types of microvascular needle. Excluding variables introduced by anastomosis, the study focused specifically on lesions attributable only to the needle and suture. Scanning electron microscopy revealed four distinct types of lesion. A theory is proposed to explain the mechanisms whereby these lesions were produced, and a needle design is recommended that may aid in minimizing vascular trauma.
