Cor‐Knot automated fastener in distal anastomosis of total aortic arch replacement: A case report

Abstract

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.
