Abstract
Dissection was accomplished in all cases, graft suture was carried out from number four onwards, once the learning curve had been overcome. Total operating time was 200Â min; the mean surgery time in the five cases in which the dissection was performed with aortoprosthetic anastomosis was 158Â min; dissection time was 35-140Â min; and suturing time was 40-100Â min. Conclusions. The experimental model is a feasible alternative once the learning curve it entails has been overcome. With practice, dissection time is rapidly reduced, although the same cannot be said for the case of suturing time.
