AbstractWe present a simplified surgical technique that was performed on a 37-year-old man who presented with a pseudoaneurysm of the left coronary ostium two months after repair of acute Type A aortic dissection with a composite graft. Intraoperatively, the surgical sites showed extreme adhesions. The leakage at the level of the coronary suture line was exposed from inside the aortic graft. Repair was performed using 7.0 polypropylene sutures, and the postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on postoperative day six without further complications.

Although the surgical technique for acute type A aortic dissection markedly improved in the last decade, perioperative mortality and morbidity rates remain dramatically high. Therefore, we introduce the novel “plaster technique” using the single interrupted suture with a felt and plastering the minimum dose of BioGlue® (Cryolife Inc., Kennesaw, GA, USA) into the suture hole in this report. We found that the plaster technique using a felt pledget and minimum dose of BioGlue is effective for fragile aortic walls, as in patients undergoing acute aortic dissection and is a simple, safe, and durable technique to strengthen the suture line.
