The lack of safety and feasibility data has limited its use within the field. To aide in the further understanding of how cardiac surgeons can use barbed sutures, we sought to develop a high-pressure in vitro simulation model. We compared knotless barbed sutures in a highly pressurized anastomosis to conventional sutures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten specimens in total were utilized in prosthesis anastomosis, using 34\u00a0mm Gelweave Plexus (Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL 33325, USA) and 34\u00a0mm Hemabridge (Intergard Woven Hemabridge, Getinge, G\u00f6teborg, Sweden). Five models of size 3-0 barbed suture anastomoses using non-absorbable, barbed, self-retaining, monofilament polypropylene sutures (Filbloc\u00ae 3-0, Assut Europe, Rome, Italy) were compared against five conventional anastomoses using size 4-0 polypropylene monofilament (Ethicon, USA). The systems were connected using a novel-designed extracorporeal circulation system. Pressure was rapidly increased in the specimen to a mean pressure of 300\u2013350\u00a0mmHg, running then for a minimum of 48\u00a0hours to assess anastomosis strength and endurance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No anastomotic dehiscence or rupture was recorded.
