2. Figure 1
A transverse incision is made in the anterior hemicircumference of the MPA. The fenestrated circular patch is sutured to the posterior wall of the MPA. The anterior MPA hemicircumference is closed by sandwiching the remainder of the patch between the edges of the MPA arteriotomy, thereby completing the fixation of the IL-PAB.
