title: New Cutting Method to Aid Performance of Graft-to-Graft Aortic Anastomosis.
abstract: In graft-replacement surgery of the ascending aorta and aortic arch, 2 separate grafts are frequently needed in order to construct a more physiologically configured aorta. We describe a new cutting method for accurate performance of graft-to-graft anastomosis.
