The Ideal Non-Suture Anastomotic Device
• Minimal blood- exposed non-intimal surface
• Minimal inflammatory response
• Minimal vessel trauma
• Easy, quick & safe deployment (recovery)
• Multiple vessel sizes
• Patency equal or better than hand sewn
• Cost

Theoretical Benefits of Coupler by avoidance of
• Foreign body suture contact with blood flow
• Subendothelial collagen exposure from poor intimal contact
• Lumin narrowing prevented by stenting effect of coupler

Animal Studies
• Rabbit Carotid artery & Facial veins
• End-to-End & End-to-Side
• Average times quoted 2-5 minutes
• 98-100% patency rates
• 2 year follow up
• Media thinning of artery and 40% aneurysm rate
• Tensile strength greater

Animal Studies• Artery:
– Initially no difference is seen between
coupled anastomoses micro and
macroscopically
–2 years significant media thinning was
seen in the artery for 10mm distal to
the coupler with possible aneurysm
formation in 40%
• No problems were detected with the
vein

• 6 instances of venous thrombosis (0.6%)
– Nil flap loss
– 2 partial flap losses
• Same institution (Vega PRS 2008)

• Definite improvement in hand tie times is
seen with increasing experience
• This is not seen with coupler
• All surgeons averaged similar coupler
times

• Over 28% of all ischaemia time was spent
on the artery
• An average of 11% of the total ischaemiatime was spent on the coupler
![Page 31: Annual scientific congress perth coupler](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042602/55abe8f21a28abb5678b472b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Complications
• No Coupler Leaks
• No Failed Deployments
• 100% Patency all Anastomoses
• No Flap Failures
• Extra Arterial Time in 5 Cases
– ie extra sutures for leaks
![Page 32: Annual scientific congress perth coupler](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042602/55abe8f21a28abb5678b472b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Time Conclusions
• Coupled Vein is quicker than sutured artery
• Consistent time for coupled anastomosis across grades
• % Ischaemia time of Coupler is less than sutured artery

– 12/60 x £800=£160– 12/60 x $1200= $aus240
• Coupler cost £112• 9‘0 cost £40
– £112-£40=£72
• Net saved per Case – £160-£72=£88.00

Conclusions
• Microvascular coupler is a safe alternative to suture for venous anastomosis
• Microvascular coupler is faster than suture
• Microvascular coupler has a shorter learning curve than suture
• Microvascular coupler is cost effective
