In temporary, permanent or extra-anatomic bypass grafting to the side of the ascending aorta, a technique of prosthetic fabric wrapping of the ascending aorta associated with reinforcement of the anastomosis is devised as a simple and useful method for aortic surgery. With this technique, dislodgement of the vascular forceps can be prevented completely, and the ascending aortic wall may be protected from injuries owing to the vascular forceps.
