Figure 5. Drawing illustrating the parallel stent graft technique to stop retrograde flow in the thoracic false lumen from residual intimal tears in the suprarenal and subrenal aorta (black arrows). Three stent grafts are positioned from the origin of the left subclavian artery to the aortic bifurcation. The visceral stent of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery are positioned between the first and second aortic stent grafts; instead, the stents of renal arteries are located between the second and third aortic stent grafts. All visceral are incannulated and stented with the anterograde approach from the top.
