Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of arteriovenous anastomosis by microvascular anastomotic coupler device.Methods From January 2013 to November 2013,23 cases of microvascular anastomotic coupler device were applied in 18 patients with vascular injury of upper limb,and anastomosis time and patency rate was observed.Results In 18 patients,the brachial artery injury in 2 cases,the radial artery injury in 11 cases,the ulnar artery injury in 8 cases,the cephalic vein injury in 1 case,and basilic vein injury in 1 case.23 microvascular anastomotic coupler devices were applied in vascular injury.The post procedure vascular patency rate was 100％ and the average time of anastomosis was 3min 59s.Conclusion Microvascular anastomotic coupler device is charactered by higher patency rate and faster operation.It can not only be used in venous anastomosis of tissue graft,and also has a certain value in the repair of arteriovenous injury.
