Fig 1 Axial computed tomography angiography (CTA) cuts of a type III thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repaired with a t-Branch. Left, Preoperative CTA. Middle, CTA control at 6 weeks after the first stage. An initial sac thrombosis is evident; the temporary sac perfusion is sustained by a bare-metal stent connecting the connecting tube port to the connecting tube. Right, CTA control at 1 month after the second step. The bare-metal stent has been relined with a covered stent; a complete sac thrombosis is evident.
