Technique: This technique is demonstrated in a 42-year-old man with a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta after a Bentall operation. The treatable length extending from the sinotubular junction to the anastomotic aneurysm edge was only 5 cm. A 45\u00d7100-mm TAG endograft for the pseudoaneurysm was modified on a back table to shorten its length. The delivery shaft was incised, and the 2 threads that fasten the top and bottom portions of the stent-graft to the sleeve were pulled out. The unfolded half of the stent-graft was cut back after pulling out the strand for the back half. Next, this custom-made graft was deployed via a transcarotid approach with cardiopulmonary bypass; no endoleak was observed. Postoperative computed tomography showed a minute type Ib endoleak. The patient was doing well at postoperative month 6. Conclusion: Physician modification of a TAG endograft facilitated effective management of this ascending aortic lesion by shortening the length of aortic coverage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602816644913","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,21]],"date-time":"2016-04-21T01:42:40Z","timestamp":1461202960000},"page":"489-492","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Physician Modification to Shorten a TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis for Treatment of a Pseudoaneurysm in the Ascending Aorta"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Kenji","family":"Wada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Shimamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatsuhiko","family":"Komiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Tsuneyoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Okayama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1526602816644913","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2014.07.063"},{"key":"bibr2-1526602816644913","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2013.11.066"},{"key":"bibr3-1526602816644913","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2013.01.033"},{"key":"bibr4-1526602816644913","first-page":"17","volume":"42","author":"Grabenwoger M","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"key":"bibr5-1526602816644913","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2010.12.004"},{"key":"bibr6-1526602816644913","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2009.06.090"}],"container-title":["Journal of Endovascular Therapy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1526602816644913","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1526602816644913","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1526602816644913","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T21:29:44Z","timestamp":1777498184000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1526602816644913"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,20]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1526602816644913"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1526602816644913","relation":{},"ISSN":["1526-6028","1545-1550"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1526-6028","type":"print"},{"value":"1545-1550","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,20]]}}}
