Fig. 3 Placement of the branched stent graft. A , Three guidewires are inserted through 4F nylon catheters into aortic branches. B , Sidearms are introduced into aortic branches over guidewires. C , Each graft section is expanded and delivery system is removed. Arrows show each tip of sidearms.

Fig. 5 Aortograms obtained 1 month after triple-branched stent graft placement (arrows ) and subsequent bifurcated stent graft placement (arrowheads ) reveal absence of aneurysm filling with contrast medium and good flow through stent grafts. Mesenteric and renal arteries are patent. A , Anteroposterior projection; B , lateral projection.
