Abstract
FOR many years surgeons have felt the need for some technical procedure that would help in bridging gaps of the arterial system when a large vessel has been destroyed by trauma or has become thrombosed because of degenerative disease or embolism, or when certain cardiovascular abnormalities require operative correction.
