- Abstract
In the conventional way of thoraco-abdominal aortic replacement, the intercostal arteries are reimplanted directly to the main aortic graft or by the interposition of branch grafts. To overcome the disadvantages of these techniques, we adopted a different technique using a parallel side graft. The good patency rate of reimplanted intercostal arteries achieved by this technique and its potential technical advantages can contribute to the improvement of the surgical outcome.
