- This paper resulted from a collaboration with the University of Birmingham supported by their EPSRC network “Predictive mOdelling for hEalthcare technologies through MathS” (POEMS, EP/L001101/1). It also included participation in the BBRSC “Multi-Scale Biology Network” (MSB-Net, BB/M025888/1). The research was also supported by UCLan. The paper proposes a mechanism explaining the short-term increase in thrombosis risk due to suturing, when compared with arterial coupling, reinforcing clinical observations and endorsing increasing use of arterial coupling in clinical practice. The research was part of a study leading to a PhD (By publication) for first author Wain, an NHS Speciality Registrar (Plastic Surgery).
