Abstract
In the conventional way of thoraco-abdominal aortic replacement, the intercostal arteries are reimplanted directly to the main aortic graft or by the interposition of branch grafts. To overcome the disadvantages of these techniques, we adopted a different technique using a parallel side graft. The good patency rate of reimplanted intercostal arteries achieved by this technique and its potential technical advantages can contribute to the improvement of the surgical outcome.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
