We report a new anastomotic 'turn-up' technique in the surgery for acute aortic dissection. This technique includes eversion of the ends of the graft which allows excellent cross-sectional exposure of the aorta and the graft. In our experiences of consecutive 30 cases, this technique reduced perioperative bleeding and resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes.
