BioGlue Surgical Adhesive: BioGlue (produced by CryoLife in Kennesaw, GA) is a surgical adhesive with two components respectively purified bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Glutaraldehyde (their proportions are 4:1). Crosslinked bonds (covalent bonds) of Glutaraldehyde cross-link the protein on the surface of the tissue and the amino residue of the bovine serum albumin. BioGlue also adheres to the synthetic matrix material by a mechanical interlocking mechanism in the space of graft matrix.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Male or female subjects 18-70 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects with known allergy to albumin, bovine products, or glutaraldehyde.
* Subjects who have been treated with an investigational product who have not completed the entire follow-up period.
* Subjects who do not meet the eligibility criteria, including those who do not wish to participate or give informed consent for trial participation, will not be enrolled into the trial, and will be offered equivalent, non-trial surgical or other treatment, as judged appropriate by the investigator.
* Subjects with previous cardiac and aortic surgery.
* End stage malperfusion syndromes (i.e. end-organ failure such as coma, paraplegia, hemiplegia, intestinal necrosis, or hepatic failure).
* Subjects with Marfan syndrome or other connective tissue disorders.
* Previous chronic dissections resulting from non-cardiac surgery and/or trauma.
* Concomitant surgery of valve replacement (both in screening and intraoperative).
Primary outcome measure(s)
Successful Closure of the False Lumen — This success can be visually confirmed intraoperatively with a TEE (binary yes/no expression for each subject) Successful closure of the false lumen as determined by intraoperative TEE. With successful closure of the false lumen, a complete disappearance of the false lumen will be achieved.
