Fig 1 (A) Sagittal computed tomography scan image shows a wirelike structure that migrated into the aortic arch to the origin of the left subclavian artery. The tip and two thirds of the proximal wire are found inside the aortic lumen; the initially subcutaneous part of the wire flush is still in the mediastinum outside the aorta. (B) The transverse view demonstrates the intravascular position of the wire in the ascending aorta (arrow).

Fig 2 Three-dimensional reconstruction from computed tomography scan shows a direct migration of the temporary epicardial pacing wires through the aortic wall at the level of the distal anastomosis with the posterior part of the graft. (A) Anterior/surgical view. (B) Postprocessing posterior view with right atrium removal. (LA = left atrium.)
