Porous vascular grafts can be safely and securely sealed prior to use by a thirty-minute soak in cryoprecipitate followed by a ten-minute immersion in topical thrombin. This technique does not use the patient's blood and works in a patient fully anticoagulated with heparin. It has provided absolute graft competence in a series of 12 patients with valve conduits and 6 with patch enlargement of the ascending aorta.
