1 Everting mattress running suture: an improved technique of atrial anastomosis in human lung transplantation  Marc de Perrot, MD, MS, Shaf Keshavjee, MD, MS  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 73, Issue 5, Pages (May 2002) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 Two double-ended 4-0 polypropylene sutures (90-cm long each) are respectively placed at the superior and inferior atrial margins and left untied. The anastomosis is performed using a horizontal everting mattress running suture, starting at the inferior end on the right side and at the superior end of the atrium on the left side. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 After the back wall is completed, the second (holding) suture is tied and the first suture (which was used for the back wall) is tied to it. The anterior wall is sewn halfway with the second suture, the other half being completed with a continuation of the first suture, using an everting mattress suture technique again.
