Aortic stump tailoring with GRF glue and a felt strip.
We describe herein a new technique of aortic stump tailoring for aortic dissection. This method involves the application of gelatine-resorcin-formalin (GRF) glue and a felt strip, with manipulation using the balloon of an endotracheal tube. The conjoined wall consists of three layers, but it is completed like a single layer. This procedure facilitates anastomosis to the graft in the next step.
