Objective: A new described wrapping method for root reconstruction with prosthetic vessel in acute type A aortic dissection.
Case Video Summary: The new described method was as follows: the root was dissected and left the coronary artery in situ, a handmade shaped Dacron patch/prosthetic vessel was inserted into the media level between inner and outer layer. After continuous suture with the new ″sandwich" root, a prosthetic vessel with one size bigger was wrapped outside the new root above the coronary artery ostium.
Conclusions: The new described root reconstruction method can provide a feasible support for root hemostasis and fixation for avoiding dilation.
