tube graft

A tube graft connecting two parts of the aorta may also be used.

The portion of the aorta removed can be replaced with synthetic material, such as a Dacron tube graft.

Replacement of the damaged section with a tube graft (often made of dacron) when there is no damage to the aortic valve.

Modified type I expandable devices can be used to quickly connected the supraoertic trunks to the main tube graft when the entire aortic arch needs to be substituted(video).
