In 1977, the use of gelatine-resorcine-formaline (GRF) biological glue during surgery of acute type A aortic dissection was proposed. The present study retrospectively analyses the late results obtained with this adjunct in an experience extending over a 20-year period. ⋯ The GRF glue has proved to be extremely useful during initial emergency surgery for acute type A dissection, making the procedure much easier and safer. Through this operative improvement, the use of the GRF glue seems to have a beneficial influence on the late results which, however, depend mainly on the patient's basic condition.
