In 1892, one-hundred and thirty-three years after Hallo wells case, Durante reported two successful arteriorrhaphies in man and Rosa one. In 1894 Abbe made the first experiments with circular suture of arteries (end-to-end anastomosis), tying the ends of the vessel over an hour-glass-shaped tube of thin glass.* In 1896 Brian and Jaboulay anastomosed vessels in animals, using U-shaped sutures which everted the edges of the wound, and approximated intima to intima. The method was unsuccessful in dogs because of thrombosis, but it was * New York Med. Jour., Jan., Fig. 73.—Murph^-s InvaginationMethod of Suturing Arteries.

The credit for this method was claimedby Solomoni in 1900. In 1897 Nitzc used an ivory apparatus which he placed over one end of thevessel, which was then turned back like a cuff, and the other end of the vesselwas drawn over it, so that intima lay in contact with intima. After suturing,the apparatus w^as removed. In 1897 Dr. John B. Murphy * was the first successfully to perfonn circulararteriorrhaphy in man; he reported one case and made experiments on twelve animal experiments two only were successful. Two or three double-headed sutures are inserted into the proximal segment of the artery, includingthe two outer coats only. These are then re-inserted at regula
