Fig 1 A, The predeployment angiogram of a 17-year-old boy with a 19-mm aorta demonstrates a traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysm. Use of a 26-mm TAG device would have caused significant oversizing. B, The completion angiogram after placement of three 23-mm Gore abdominal aortic cuffs demonstrates exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm and preserved patency of the left subclavian artery.

Fig 2 A, This preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrates aortic transection with pseudoaneurysm in a 23-year-old man with a 24-mm aorta. B, Completion angiogram after placement of a 26-mm TAG device. Note extension of device into lumen of aorta (arrow) with presence of endoleak (arrowhead). C, A CT scan on postoperative day 6 demonstrates collapse of the TAG device.
