Graft Telescopic Inversion Anastomosis for Acute Type aAortic Dissection Repair

The remaining dissected aorta in repair of acute type A aortic dissection was approximated with two Teflon felt strips of different widths of 7-mm and 14 mm, and the graft was anastomosed with a uniformized telescopic suture technique. In hemiarch and total arch replacements to repair acute type A aortic dissection, the addition of the telescopic suture inversion technique to the approximation of the dissecrted aorta using two felt strips may be a secure hemastatic technique in the graft-to-aorta anastomosis.
