B White arrow shows the rifampicin-bonded aortic root composite graft with Svensson method. * Aortic cross clamp on the previous prosthetic graft, # aortic return cannula in the previous prosthetic graft, § a venous drainage cannula in the SVC. C White arrow shows that selective balloon tipped cannulae were inserted into BCA and LCCA. * FET. D White arrow shows that a prosthetic tube graft was anastomosed to the descending aorta using the open distal method. E White arrow shows that the aortic arch was reconstructed using a new 4-branched prosthetic graft*
