Abstract
We described an alternative technique for ascending aorta replacement with sinotubular junction reduction and stabilization. This technique is performed by suspending the 3 commissures, invaginating the aortic polyester fiber graft, and advancing the graft into the ventricles. The proximal anastomosis is performed with 2 suture lines. This procedure is easy, fast, and hemostatic. It can be adopted in some cases of ascending aorta dilatation with aortic regurgitation due to loss of the sinotubular junction.
