Abstract

In the surgical treatment of acute type A aortic dissection, performing the anastomosis in the dissected aorta is technically challenging due to the fragility of the dissected aortic wall. This study describes the reinforcement technique for the distal anastomotic site, using pre-glued felt strips with Hydrofit®. No intraoperative bleeding occurred at the anastomosis site of the distal anastomosis stump. Postoperative computed tomography revealed no new distal anastomotic entry. This technique is recommended for managing acute type A aortic dissection during distal aortic reinforcement.
