1 Transapical Endovascular Stenting of Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcer of Ascending Aorta 
Utz Kappert, MD, Tamer Ghazy, MD, Ahmed Ouda, MD, Ralf-Thorsten Hoffmann, MD, Gregor Simonis, MD, Klaus Matschke, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 96, Issue 4, Pages e101-e103 (October 2013) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Preoperative computed tomographic angiographic imaging (A) with three-dimensional reconstruction (B) showing the increased total diameter of the ascending aorta, the true lumen (1), extravasation of the radiocontrast agent (2, 5), extensive intramural hematoma (3), and the massive proximal calcification of the aortic arch, especially at the origin of the brachiocephalic trunk (4).

3 Fig 2 6-Month follow-up computed tomographic angiographic imaging (A) with three-dimensional reconstruction (B) after initial successful restenting showing a persistent type Ib endoleak in axial view (1) and in the three-dimensional reconstruction (2).

4 Fig 3 Intraoperative image showing the excision of the ascending aorta with both stents in toto. Notice the thickened aortic wall, the position of the type Ib endoleak on the lesser curvature (A), and the different structure of the distal end to the proximal end of the primary stent after its shortening (B).
