Abstract:
Bleeding from anastomotic site in operation for aorta has been troublesome, because it has influence on postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, hemostasis is very important. We describe a simple and effective method for achieving hemostasis of the anastomotic site in aortic surgery. By wrapping around anastomotic site with remnant artificial vascular graft, we have acquired good results.
