Wrapping of an Ascending Aortic Aneurysm with the Multiple Boot-Straps Technique in a Patient Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Abstract

Ascending aortic aneurysms are usually treated with graft replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. However, if a candidate for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has an enlarged ascending aorta, surgeons may consider wrapping it without cardiopulmonary bypass. Here, we report a 78-year-old female who underwent successful wrapping of the ascending aorta concomitant with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, using a new wrapping technique that involves multiple bootstraps.
