Hemi-Cabrol Aortic Root Replacement in Complex Aortic Reconstructions

Abstract

The Cabrol aortic root replacement with subsequent modifications remains an extremely useful technique within the armamentarium of the aortic surgeon. The technical considerations detailed here allow for the uncompromised creation of a hemi-Cabrol anastomosis in complex aortic reconstructions.
