A, A 50-year-old man was found to have a thoracic aortic transection after a skydiving accident (arrow). B, He underwent a successful thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair with a 26-mm × 10-cm TAG endoprosthesis (W. L Gore and Assoc, Flagstaff, Ariz). C, A computed tomography scan at 3 months showed a small but appreciable “bird’s beak” without endoleak or graft collapse. The superimposed “wedge” symbol outlines the “bird’s beak.” D, The patient, however, presented at 5 months with a recurrent pseudoaneurysm due to endograft collapse (arrow). E, He was treated with repeat endografting with good initial result, but ultimately required graft excision and open reconstruction for aortoesophageal fistula.
