Pericardial sewing-cuff: an alternative surgical technique for full-root implantation of aortic allograft and pulmonary autograft.

The following is a description of a modified technique for the reinforcement of proximal anastomosis regarding the process of aortic allograft or pulmonary autograft full root implantation. A double width pericardial strip is used to create a pericardial sewing-cuff to be used as a neo-ring. This technique is said to be best suited for decreasing the operative bleeding, reducing anastomotic pitfalls and concomitant repair of the aortic annulus.
