AbstractAortic friability is a problem of great concern and frustration for those performing operations on patients with ascending and arch aortic aneurysms, and particularly, on patients with annuloaortic ectasia. We have used 25 glutaraldehyde to successfully strengthen the distal aorta of three such patients. After the application, the aortic wall held sutures without tearing. Postoperative bleeding was minimal in each case. No neurological events were noticed, and all of the patients were discharged home within 2 weeks. The application of this tanning solution to such a friable aortic tissue should be considered as a helpful alternative to reduce postoperative bleeding, which is the most common complication after this type of surgery.
