Figure 2
A-C, Preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm and extravasation (arrow) at the anastomosis site. D, Aortography before stentgraft implantation revealed extravasation (arrow) at the anastomosis site. E, Stent graft was implanted at the anastomosis site. F, Aortography after stentgraft implantation showed no residual extravasation.
