Innovations (Phila). 2015 May-Jun;10(3):209-11. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0000000000000154.

Abstract

We present a technique for endovascular management of unplanned coverage of the left common carotid artery during endovascular repair of a distal aortic arch aneurysm. A balloon expandable covered stent was placed into the proximal left common carotid artery by neck incision.
