Fig. 2 A, Angiogram demonstrating aneurysm of the ductus diverticulum in a 77-year-old man. B, Computed tomographic scan of same patient, with aneurysm noted on underside of arch. C, After stent-graft deployment, the aneurysm no longer fills with contrast medium. D, Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scan after stent-graft deployment confirms absence of aneurysm filling.
