Fig 1 In the champagne bottle technique, the hooks are bent up like a J shape and serve as a stopper mechanism (arrow A). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2013 95, e107-e108DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2012.12.023) Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 In the modified champagne bottle technique, care needs to be taken to twist the wire around the bend relief down, without kinking or torquing the outflow graft beneath the bend relief (arrow B).
