Abstract:
We report the Lampshade Technique : a new technique using Carbo-Seal Valsalva (Sorin Biomedica, Saluggia, Italy) to facilitate preparation of a composite graft. A Bentall operation and an ascending aorta replacement were performed with a composite graft using a Carbo-Seal Valsalva. This new technique can be considered useful as it can reduce the time required for preparing a composite graft, and create a skirt portion for continuous suturing to prevent bleeding.
