Summary
Introduction

The latest generation of titanium clip appliers, called VCS (vascular closure staples) instruments, not only avoid damage being done to the tunica intima and hyperplasia while at the same time favouring the distensibility and growth of the vessel, but also provide the surgeon with a fast, easy-to-use method, which contrasts with the conventional discontinuous suture technique using polypropylene. This can be the method chosen for use in the reconstruction of vascular elements that are growing (paediatric aorta surgery and transplants), and where lowering the clamping time is important.

Aims

The purpose of this study was to check whether suturing with metallic VCS clips could be a faster method for the surgeon than conventional discontinuous suturing with polypropylene in end-to-end anastomosis of arteries and veins.

Materials and methods

At the age of 55 days, 30 lambs were submitted to end-to-end anastomosis in the carotid artery and the jugular vein. Results. It was confirmed that VCS clip appliers are easier for the surgeon to use and significantly lower the time needed to perform end-to-end anastomosis of arteries (clips, 4.02±0.72 min; suture, 21.89±1.93min) and of veins (clips,9.82±3.97min; suture, 29.31±1.90 min).

Conclusions

VCS clips significantly reduce the time employed to perform end-to-end anastomosis of arteries and veins as compared to the conventional discontinuous technique using polypropylene.

Resumen
Introducción

La última generación de aplicadores de clips de titanio denominados instrumentos VCS (vascular closure staples), además de evitar el daño en la íntima y la hiperplasia y favorecer la distensibilidad y el crecimiento del vaso, aportan rapidez y facilidad de manejo al cirujano, en contraposición a la técnica de sutura convencional discontinua con polipropileno. Éste puede ser el método que se elija en las reconstrucciones de elementos vasculares en crecimiento (cirugía pediátrica de aorta y trasplantes), y en el que la disminución del tiempo de clampaje sea importante.

Objetivos

Comprobar si la técnica de sutura con clips metálicos VCS podría resultar ser un método más rápido para el cirujano que la técnica de sutura convencional discontinua con polipropileno, en anastomosis terminoterminales de arteria y vena.

Materiales y métodos

Se utilizan 30 corderos, que se someten a los 55 días de edad a una anastomosis terminoterminal en la arteria carótida y vena yugular.

Resultados

Confirmamos que los aplicadores de clips VCS son más fáciles de utilizar para el cirujano y disminuyen significativamente el tiempo que se emplea en las anastomosis terminoterminales de las arterias (clips, 4,02±0,72min; sutura, 21,89±1,93 min) y de las venas (clips, 9,82±3,97min; sutura, 29,31±1,90min).

Conclusiones

Los clips VCS reducen significativamente el tiempo que se emplea en realizar anastomosis terminoterminales de arterias y venas en comparación con la técnica convencional discontinua con polipropileno.

Resumo
Introdução

A última geração de aplicadores de agrafes de titânio denominados instrumentos VCS (vascular closure staples), para além de evitar a lesão e hiperplasia da íntima e favorecer a distensibilidade e o crescimento do vaso, permite rapidez e facilidade de manuseamento pelo cirurgião, em relação à técnica de sutura convencional descontínua com polipropileno. Este pode ser o método de eleição nas reconstruções de elementos vasculares em crescimento (cirurgia pediátrica da aorta e transplantes), e em que a diminuição do tempo de clampagem seja importante.

Objectivos

Comprovar se a técnica de sutura com agrafes metálicos VCS poderá revelar-se um método mais rápido para o cirurgião que a técnica de sutura convencional descontinua com polipropileno, com anastomoses téminoterminais de artéria e veia.

Materiais e métodos

Utilizam-se 30 cordeiros que se submetem aos 55 dias de idade a uma anastomose término-terminal da artéria carótida e veia jugular.

Resultados

Confirmamos que os aplicadores de agrafes VCS são mais fáceis de utilizar para o cirurgião e diminuem significativamente o tempo de anastomoses término-terminais das artérias (agrafes, 4,02±0,72min; sutura, 21,89±1,93min) e das veias (agrafes, 9,82±3,97min: sutura, 29,31±1,90min.).

Conclusões

Os agrafes VCS reduzem significativamente o tempo que se emprega em realizar anastomoses término-terminais de artérias e veias em comparação com a técnica convencional descontínua com polipropileno.
