Application of microvascular clip in treatment of vascular injuries——a report in research progress

Objective Microvascular clip plays important role in microsurgery. Therefore, the development of microvascular clips and research in clamp-related vascular injuries becomes a major topic. Based on clamp-related microvascular injuries, the study investigated in 4 aspects: injury assessment, vascular characteristics and blood vessel injury, vessel repair, and development of microvascular clamp. A prospects of the current researches is also given. Key words: Microvascular clip; Blood vessel injury; Clamp-related injuries; Stanching; Microsurgical instruments
