Fig. 3

Timeline of device migration. All four panels depict the curved planar reconstruction image generated from the CT scan. These images were obtained at one postoperatively from the first TEVAR. The white line in panel (a) shows the length of the stent-graft and the bare-metal stent. The red arrow represents the direction of the proximal edge of the stent-graft, which moves cranially over time. The yellow arrowhead points to the proximal edge of the bare-metal stent, while the yellow line shows the gap between the stent-graft and the bare-metal stent. The gap was observed at 4 years after surgery and enlarged over time
