Evolution and improvements in microsurgical techniques and tools have paved the way for super-microsurgical anastomoses with vessel diameters often approaching below 0.8 mm in the clinical realm and even smaller (0.2–0.3 mm) in murine models. Several imaging and monitoring devices have been introduced for post-operative monitoring but intra-operative guidance, assessment and predictability have remained limited to binocular optical microscope and surgeon’s experience. We present a high-resolution real time 3D imaging modality for intra-operative evaluation of luminal narrowing, thrombus formation and flow alterations. An imaging modality that provides immediate, in-depth high resolution 3D structure view and flow information of the anastomosed site called phase resolved Doppler optical coherence tomography (PRDOCT) was developed. 22 mouse femoral artery anastomoses and 17 mouse venous anastomoses were performed and evaluated with PRDOCT. Flow status, vessel inner lumen 3D structure, and early thrombus detection were analyzed based on PRDOCT imaging results. Initial PRDOCT based predictions were correlated with actual long term surgical outcomes. Eventually four cases of mouse orthotopic limb transplantation were carried out and PRDOCT predicted long term patency were confirmed by actual results. PRDOCT was able to provide high-resolution 3D visualization of the vessel flow status and vessel inner lumen. The assessments based on PRDOCT visualization shows a 92% sensitivity and 90% specificity for arterial anastomoses and 90% sensitivity and 86% specificity for venous anastomoses. PRDOCT is an effective evaluation tool for microvascular anastomosis. It can predict the long term vessel patency with high sensitivity and specificity.
