Arterial Anastomosis Without Sutures Using Ring Pin Stapler for Clinical Renal Transplantation: Comparison With Suture Anastomosis

Abstract

The anastomotic technique with the ring pin system is safe and simple, permitting an expeditious and everting anastomosis with a smooth intima-to-intima junction. Application of this technique may decrease warm ischemia time and the incidence of anastomotic artery stenosis, thus, improving outcomes.
