title: A simple method to correct aortic tube graft kinking without cardiopulmonary by-pass and aortic clamping.
abstract: A method for correcting the tube kinking after ascending aortic replacement for acute dissection is described. Its main advantage is the no need for cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB) and aortic clamping to solve the problem.
