| In our 10 failed replants we could initially visualize arterial flow across the anastomosis. |
| The anastomosis is completed by inserting the coupling member, with the graft vessel attached, into the anchor member. |
| Taking aspirin with dipyridamole reduces platelet accumulation at the anastomosis. |
| Despite meticulous suturing, telescoping techniques, or covering the anastomosis with pedicles of vital tissues, dehiscence may still occur. |
| The inferior gluteal artery also assists in forming the cruciate anastomosis that forms around the neck and greater trochanter of the femur. |
| The LPA was too short for the anastomosis to the main artery, so we inosculated the injured LPA to the recipient inferior epigastric artery. |
