    AbstractPermanent aortic occlusion is required in the surgical procedures for the flow reversal and thromboexclusion technique and also for the permanent exclusion of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta. We have designed a stapling instrument for the permanent occlusion of the aorta and have used it in 5 patients with aortic dissections and 2 patients with aneurysms of the thoracic aorta. This report describes our newly designed surgical stapler for the closure of the aorta with 2 case reports.
