Long-term feasibility of the new sutureless excimer laser-assisted non-occlusive anastomosis clip in a pig model

ConclusionThe SEcl technique is not inferior to the ELANA technique regarding patency, flap retrieval rate, flow, and endothelialization. On the basis of a significantly shorter application time and superior hemostasis, the SEcl technique could be preferable over the ELANA technique. A pilot study in patients is a logical next step based on our current results.
