A 63-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a thoracic aortic aneurysm. We performed hybrid repair involving aortic arch debranching and endovascular stent-graft placement. Four months later, an asymptomatic pseudoaneurysm had formed at the aortic conduit-brachiocephalic artery anastomosis. To exclude the pseudoaneurysm, we deployed a Covered CP Stent across the anastomosis through a surgically created right axillary artery conduit. We discuss the patient's case and our choice of treatment.
