The radius of the lesser curvature of the aortic arch was 25 mm. The diameters of the main branches of the aortic arch were 10 mm. In the wrapping technique, the aorta is additionally covered by the vascular prosthesis. In our experience, the aortic wall of the moderately dilated ascending aorta (40–55 mm) does not plicate when its diameter is decreased to approximately
30 mm (Fig. 2). Therefore, the inner surface of the wrapped portion of the aorta was simulated as an even surface.
