Creation of a smooth side wall arteriotomy for an end‐to‐side microsurgical anastomosis can at times be difficult and time consuming. To facilitate this maneuver, a new end‐to‐side microarteriotomy scissor was designed for creation of recipient vessel openings from 0.5–2 mm in size. These new scissors and their recommended use are described.
