Abstract
In patients without aortic arch calcification, elective total ascending aorta replacement can be performed without circulatory arrest, by positioning obliquely a clamp from the brachiocephalic trunk, which is partially clamped, to the distal aortic arch. This technique was used in 8 consecutive patients in the first 3 months of 2002. None of them experienced any complication.
