Abstract:
One of the crucial aspects of surgical repair of type A aortic dissection is to achieve hemostasis of the anastomosis. Furthermore, the possibility of improving the suture with additional stitches is often technically demanding. We, therefore, describe a new surgical technique for the proximal anastomosis, positioning the prosthesis within the left ventricle. We present our series of 6 patients treated with this new technique. The immediate results confirmed the efficacy, speed, and simplicity of the technique. During long-term follow-up no patient showed significant residual aortic valve incompetence.
