摘要
The distal anastomosis constructed during repair of an aortic dissection is prone to bleeding, reentry, and neodissection. To protect the hemostasis, a modification of Borst's elephant trunk procedure has been devised. This ''mini-trunk'' protects the anastomosis with an internal buttress using the crease of an infolded graft and with a short flap of graft everted into the distal lumen preventing access of the blood stream to this newly constructed suture line.
