Abstract
An extra-anatomic bypass initiating from the ascending aorta, namely the ventral aorta, is a possible alternative for lower limb revascularization. However, acceptance of this technique is limited by the need of a median sternotomy and clamping of the ascending aorta. We report a new technique for the ventral aorta using a total videoscopic approach of the ascending aorta, which avoids the need for a median sternotomy. We discuss the advantages and perspectives of this new approach.
