A New Technique for Graft-to-Graft Anastomosis to Reconstruct the Aortic Arch

Abstract

When the ascending aorta and aortic arch must be replaced with a vascular graft, two separate grafts are often required to reconstruct a more anatomically configured aorta. We describe a method of graft tailoring that will result in a more natural shape of the neoaorta, avoiding kinking at the junction of the ascending aorta and the aortic arch.
