PUNCIONADO DE VEIA FEMORAL EM MEMBRO INFERIOR DIREITO PERICARDIOTOMIA + CONFECÇÃO DE BOLSAS EM AORTA E CAVAS
Sarah Webb

Local time: 06:28
English translation:using / making use of purse-string sutures
Explanation:
"purse-string suture: a surgical suture passed as a running stitch in and out along the edge of a circular wound in such a way that when the ends of the suture are drawn tight the wound is closed like a purse"

bolsa: purse

I suggest adding the gerund to convey the meaning of "confeccão". For example: using purse-string sutures.

I found this translation on Linguee, which I do NOT recommend.

"Confection (sic) of the purse-string suture of the aorta using 5-0 polypropylene, on the SVC near the innominate vein and inferior..."

agree  Matheus Chaud: Yes, you're right about the stitch - that would be a bit redundant (stitching a suture).
