Figure 1 Computed tomography after a 4-branched graft replacement with an elephant trunk. A, Transverse plan. B, Sagittal plane. The distal orifice of the elephant trunk laterally faces into the distal aortic arch aneurysm (white arrows), which makes retrograde guide wire access difficult. ET, Elephant trunk; Desc Ao, descending aorta; Asc Ao, ascending aorta.

Figure 2 A, An intraoperative aortogram. The brachiofemoral through-and-through wire (black arrow) is positioned with a snare catheter. White arrows indicate the distal edge of the elephant trunk. B, A Gore TAG prosthesis is inserted into the elephant trunk, and the guidewire is exchanged with a stiff wire for accurate deployment.
