Abstract
Bleeding from an aortic suture line or cannula site may be difficult to control, especially in the patient with a fragile or dilated aorta. This method of wrapping a vascular graft around the aorta to relieve tension on the suture line and control bleeding is simple and effective, and it facilitates obtaining the proper tension of the wrapped graft.
