Surgical suturing or stitching of blood vessels to repair damage or reconnect severed vessels.
From Greek 'angion' (vessel) + 'raphe' (seam, suture). This surgical term emerged as vascular surgery became more sophisticated in the 20th century.
Angiorrhaphy is essentially microsurgical stitching—surgeons use sutures so fine and delicate they're working under magnification to sew together tiny blood vessels, and a single mistake can cause the vessel to clot shut.
