Abstract

We describe a novel suture technique of distal anastomosis between the graft and the aorta in ascending aortic aneurysm repair surgery. In this technique, the aortic graft is positioned inside the distal aortic lumen with an overlapping segment and circumferential or back wall part only diagonal basting stitches are performed without use of Teflon pledgets, strips, or bioadhesives. This new technique establishes a secure anastomosis line, shortens anastomosis time, and avoids the use of foreign materials.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
