Abstract:
We describe a simple and reliable technique of making a secure graft for aorta anastomosis, involving sandwiching the friable aortic wall between the graft and a Teflon strip. This technique makes possible a secure anastomosis with the distal friable tissue and prevents bleeding from the junction.
