The surgical treatment of acute aortic dissection is difficult, and the mortality is associated with anastomosis site complications. Therefore, it is essential to make sure the end-to-end anastomosis safe and avoid bleeding. The methods of anastomosis include: direct anastomosis, adventitial inversion technique and sandwich technique. The latter two methods are both effective in hemostasis and reducing the postoperative complications. According to the recent literatures, the adventitial inversion technique may facilitate thrombotic closure of the false lumen in acute type A aortic dissection management and increase the long-term survival of the patients. This review introduces 2 modified methods of anastomosis as well, and summarizes clinical outcomes of different end-to-end anastomotic methods for surgical treatment of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, in order to recommend the most proper method of end-to-end anastomosis.
