The author describes a technical 8-shaped variation of continuous suture of longitudinal arteriotomy. He describes the technical details of implementation of the suture which by crossing of the thread between the margins of the arteriotomy prevents overlapping of the margins and thus narrowing the arterial lumen. Practical aspects of the use of the suture are described, incl. evaluation of conditions and local findings where this continuous suture can, due to its functional effect, replace autovenous or prosthetic plastic surgery of the artery.
