Abstract

Delivery of stent grafts during thoracic endovascular aortic replacement can be challenging, especially in aortic arches with severe angulation. Several techniques have been recommended to achieve this. We introduce a simple technical method, transfemoral snare-assisted device advance, which was successful in a 72-year-old woman with an aneurysm in a severely angulated aortic arch and review various technical tips.
