Frost Vascular Suture

Frost vascular suture (Morozov, Morozova, 1913) is a surgical operation that is used to connect vessels during operations on the heart, liver or other organs.

The vascular suture was developed by the Soviet surgeon Alexander Ivanovich Morozov in 1912. He proposed using a special material to connect the vessels - catgut, which was obtained from animal intestines. This material is highly durable and resistant to infection, which allows it to be used to connect blood vessels even during open-heart surgery.

Morozov also developed a technique for treating vessels before connecting them. He used a special needle that allowed him to sew the vessels together accurately and accurately. This was especially important in operations on small-diameter vessels, where an error in the connection could lead to serious complications.

Subsequently, Morozov’s vascular suture became widespread in surgical practice. It was used to connect blood vessels during operations on the heart, lungs, liver and other organs. Due to its reliability and safety, the Morozov vascular suture has become one of the most common methods of connecting vessels in the world.

Today, the Morozov vascular suture continues to be used in surgical practice, although there are other methods of connecting vessels, such as the use of synthetic materials or the use of special instruments. However, the Morozov vascular suture remains one of the most reliable and safe methods of connecting vessels.



**Morozov Vascular Sutures** is a technique for suturing a vessel to an artery or vein, which is used in surgery to restore blood flow in the circulatory system. The author of this technique is A.I. Morozova (1875–1925), a Soviet surgeon who made a significant contribution to the development of vascular surgery.

Morozina’s prototype of the vascular suture was the suture invented by surgeon Kirill Upton. In 1849, he first used suture material from animal intestine to sew human blood vessels together. However, his suture did not provide a reliable seal in the long term and caused complications.

Morozova in 1914 developed a new vascular suture, which was much more effective. She used the animal's intestine as suture material, as well as a special chamber to create a temporary channel between the artery and vein. The camera made it possible to maintain blood circulation during surgery and shorten the patient's recovery period.

Morozova's vascular suture is still one of the most popular methods of restoring blood flow. It provides a reliable seal and shortens the patient's recovery period. In addition, it allows doctors to accurately select the size of the suture material and control the repair process through a special camera to create an intermediate channel.
