sutures within snares as safely as a mosquito hemostat. Two polypropylene purse-string sutures secured by two hemostatic clips were most reliable at greater forces. The rationale for publishing our experiments in this manuscript is to (1) communicate our quantification of possible contributing factors to this rare and likely catastrophic complication of unintended decannulation, (2) increase awareness about this potential complication, and (3) increase vigilance to assure prevention of this dreaded complication.
