- Title

- Abstract
Endovascular repair of thoracic aneurysms has emerged as an attractive alternative especially in high-risk patients. However, the aortic curvature and potential coverage of the epiaortic vessels limit the use of stent-grafts in aneurysms located in the aortic arch. We report a case with a saccular aneurysm in the distal arch and proximal descending aorta, where we have transposed the epiaortic vessels to gain a longer proximal neck in the aortic arch to safely deploy an endovascular stent.
