A 50-year-old man with an extensive aneurysm of the scending aorta with extension through the transverse arch and of the descending thoracic aorta had this segment repaired by insertion of multiple stent grafts and, 2 days later, of the arch and ascending segment by an open-surgical procedure. The stents covered the segment from the takeoff of the left subclavian artery to the thoracoabdominal transition. The procedure consisted of insertion of a Dacron tube graft that covered the segment from the proximal edge of the first stent to the aortic root. The patient has had an event-free recovery.
