Fig. 2 Routine placement of the proximal spool of the sutureless prosthesis. A cuff of aortic tissue remains distal to the left subclavian artery and the aortic cross clamp.

Fig. 3 Insertion of the distal spool of the sutureless prosthesis over a Foley catheter placed into the descending thoracic aorta. With this technique, the balloon can be placed at a level below the diaphragm, and the entire thoracic aorta can be repaired without dividing the diaphragm. In addition, clamp trauma to diseased aortic tissue is avoided.

Fig. 4 After removing the adjacent spools, two ring grafts are sutured together before initiating the procedure. A cuff is created in this clongated device for anastomosis to the celiac, mesenteric, or renal arteries.

Fig. 5 Spools from separate intraluminal prosthesis are placed within a suitable polytetrafluoroethylene segment to allow rapid adjustment of graft length by telescoping the spools within the polytetrafluoroethylene sheath.
