Abstract

Morphologic evaluation of the cephalic vein of five healthy horses submitted to clamping was
done. Hemostatic clamps tested were Dieffenbach bulldog, De Bakey bulldog, Rochester
straight and De Bakey with ratchets. Fifthen minutes after mentioned clamps were applied
partial phlebotomy was performed and histologic sections of the veins were prepared and
stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin and Masson Trichrome. After the stained preparations were
evaluated by light microscopy. The morphological analysis of the veins was performed using a
rating scale of vascular lesions after clamping. The hemostatic clamps with transverse serration
and ratcheted mechanism caused major changes, pronounced vacuolization of the muscle cells,
derangement of the medium tunic and marked loss of endothelial cells of the intima tunic was
observed in the vessel studied.
