Résumé
We developed a new reinforcement technique, the Gorget-like Cuddling (GOCU) suture, to prevent suture line bleeding during aortic surgery. After continuous aortic anastomosis with thick outer felt, an additional 2-0 Ticron (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) suture is placed distal from the first suture line. This GOCU suture directly holds the needle holes. Wall tension on the anastomosis can also be reduced to prevent longitudinal dilatation of the aorta. This technique can contribute to hemostasis for a fragile aortic wall in cases like acute aortic dissection.
