Abstract：
:A simple technique of controlling a bleeding aortic cannulation site employing autogenous tissue is described in which 3-0 Prolene suture is placed through the lateral pericardial tissue on both sides of the aortotomy closure in a horizontal mattress fashion. This technique is advantageous because of the availability of autogenous tissue, the ease in which the technique can be employed, the better conformance of the tissue to the suture line, and the elimination of the risk of infection from a foreign body.
