The problems of air-tightness of vascular sutures are discussed. The authors suggested and used in the clinic successfully a double-row buried suture of the anterior wall of the aorta, pulmonary trunk, and femoral artery under conditions of using heparin. The incision for forming the proximal anastomosis in correction of coarctation of the aorta is discussed. A circular suture applied to the aorta and pulmonary trunk with a single thread was developed in experiments and performed in the clinic.
