The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
|May 1, 1977
Abstract:
A technique is described for narrowing the Waterston anastomosis by placing a horizontal mattress suture buttressed with felt pledgets through the aortic wall at the cephalad side of the anastomosis. This maneuver produces a slight but safe narrowing of the anastomotic lumen.
