Abstract

Bleeding after ascending aortic graft replacement or aortic root replacement is a well-known adverse event and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after operations on the aorta. After a long pump run, the need of the hour is to achieve hemostasis expeditiously. We have used bovine pericardium as a wrap, which is useful in preventing bleeding from anastomotic suture lines.
