2 Fig 1 Initial resheathing of the graft. A piece of nylon tape is wrapped around the graft to facilitate resheathing. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2015 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Disengagement of the suprarenal barb hooks. Traction on the surgical tape while stabilizing the proctoscope allows the graft to be “resheathed” and safely removed. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2015 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 The smooth edge of the proctoscope. This helps to minimize damage to the aortic wall. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2015 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
