Abstract

Cor-Knot fastener use in sternotomy-based aortic arch procedures has not been reported. We present Cor-Knot fastener use over a Hegar dilator in an anatomically challenging total aortic arch replacement with no short-term and/or long-term complications.

Keywords: Cor‐Knot automated fastener; Marfan syndrome; aortic dissection; surgical technique.
