Abstract
The standard approach for recurrent aortic root problems has been a composite graft placement. This is a description of a case where a simplified technique was used. The new aortic graft was sutured to the sewing ring of a previously placed, well-seated aortic prosthesis. Coronary buttons were then implanted into that graft.
