English translation:Teflon felt-supported suture line
Explanation:

or "Teflon felt reinforced suture"

Long-term integrity of teflon felt-supported suture lines in aortic surgery
... Use of Teflon felt to support aortic suture lines yields a very low incidence of suture line disruptions: 1 per 191 patient-years, or 1 per 296 anastomosis-years. Teflon felt reinforcement provides a secure, long-lasting graft-to-aorta anastomosis with minimal risk of infection.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15734380

A two-layer suture line of 0 monofilament is placed across the aneurysm using a strip of Teflon felt on either side. The suture line is oriented to reconstruct a relatively normal left ventricular contour
and does not exclude all aneurysmal tissue.

A Dacron graft is sewn to the distal aorta with a 3-0 or 4-0 polypropylene suture reinforced with a strip of Teflon felt.
