Little is known about the approximation of coapted edges in sutureless laser‐assisted vessel welding. Tissue shrinkage by laser irradiation may cause coapted edges to separate, reducing strength of welding. This may be avoided by preloaded longitudinal compression on the tissue edges to be welded. This study compared welding strength with and without preloaded compression in ex vivo animal experiments.
