Fig 1 Measurement of proximal aneurysm neck. The level of the most inferior renal artery was identified in the (A) axial, (B) coronal, and (C) sagittal planes. D, The aortic neck was measured 10 mm inferior to the most inferior renal artery in planes orthogonal to the aorta, in the mid-portion of the first covered stent.
