A New Root-Strengthening Technique for Acute Aortic Dissection with a Weakened Aortic Root: The Neo-Adventitia Technique.

Conclusion: This technique is easy and efficient for reinforcing and stabilizing weakened roots. Furthermore, this technique may be an alternative for restoring and maintaining the geometry of the aortic root. An externally reinforced NCS could be expected to resist future dilatation.
