Experimental aneurysms of the carotid artery were produced using the microsurgical technique of grafting a venous sack onto the artery in the neck of rabbits after the removal of an elliptical piece of arterial wall. Twenty-five aneurysms were occluded with the fibrin sealant Tissucol. Microscopic examination showed complete resorption of the fibrin clot and the formation of dense granulation tissue within the aneurysm, which was covered with a layer of endothelial cells after 2 weeks. The results are only tentative and require further experimental studies.
