B, Proximal Dacron arch reconstruction. C, Intraoperative fluoroscopy showing deployment of the stent graft component through the remnants of the previous thoracic endovascular aortic repair stent graft. D, Three-dimensional computed tomography scan reconstruction of the aortic arch demonstrating the ring stents of the Thoraflex stent graft component. E, Sagittal computed tomography scan demonstrating the Thoraflex stent graft relining the previously placed thoracic stent grafts.
