case_images: Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan of the aorta (Fig 1) allowed initial sizing of a 40 mm x 10 cm conformable GORE TAG (cTAG) stent graft.
case_images: Deployment of the GORE cTAG stent graft visualized under intraoperative fluoroscopy.

case_images: Rapid ventricular pacing and fusion was utilized to aid with accuracy of successful stent graft deployment in the ascending aorta (Fig 2).
case_images: (A) Medtronic self-expanding valve and a type A9 dissection. Note: Although this figure demonstrates an entry tear in the mid-ascending aorta, the exact location of the entry tear was unknown. (B) GORE cTAG device deployed in the crown of the Medtronic self-expanding valve without covering the ostia of the coronary arteries.

case_images: In this case, the uncovered portion of the prosthetic valve served as the proximal landing zone for the cTAG stent-graft, allowing coverage of the entry tear without compromise of blood flow to the coronary arteries (Fig 3).
