Fig 1 Preoperative angiogram reveals a 7-cm thoracic aneurysm, a stenosis at the distal anastomosis of the interposition graft, and hypoplastic abdominal vasculature. The abdominal aorta measures 10 mm and the iliac arteries are 4 mm each. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 78, e28-e29DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.08.076)
Fig 2 Postrepair angiogram demonstrates complete exclusion of the aneurysm with no evidence of endoleak. A residual stenosis remains at the distal neck. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 78, e28-e29DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.08.076)
