Between 1987 to 1990, six patients underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve with a composite graft which was not wrapped with aneurysmal aortic wall; annuloaortic ectasia in 4, aortitis with acute onset of aortic regurgitation in 1, and acute aortic dissection with aortic regurgitation in 1. In 2 patients, "open aortic anastomosis" under deep hypothermic systemic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion was utilized for distal anastomosis of the graft to the resected aortic arch. Three patients required no transfusion. One patient with annuloaortic ectasia and severely dilated left ventricle died from ventricular fibrillation in ICU. One patient with aortitis died from stroke due to occlusion of bilateral carotid arteries 3 years postoperatively. The other 4 patients are alive and favorable. It is our belief that this technique still maintains simplicity and facilitates the secured anastomosis and minimized bleeding.
