Abstract

Abstract: Excessive oozing after total arch replacement with the frozen elephant trunk technique through the fabric of the E-vita Open NEO raised concern about its early adaptation. The mechanism is speculated to be multifactorial. Our goal was to report our approach using pre-emptive BioGlue priming on the fabric against the oozing phenomenon.
