The long term effects of the Unilink mechanical microvascular anastomosis in terms of anastomotic patency and histological changes in the vessel wall were evaluated in 10 rabbits. Both carotid arteries and facial veins were divided and reanastomosed with the Unilink device. At death two years later all 40 anastomoses were fully patent, with histological changes similar to those described previously after 16 weeks, that is, normal endothelial lining, but almost total atrophy of the media at the anastomotic site. The thinning of the vessel wall at the anastomosis caused neither occlusions nor aneurysms during the observation period.
