Abstract
We developed a novel method, an aorta folded-over technique, for suturing Carbo-Seal in a Bentall-type aortic root replacement. The technique is relatively simple and easy to learn, moreover, it has caused no intractable bleeding so far. These experiences prompted us to report the technique.
