title: Two cases of misaligned deployment of Valiant Captivia thoracic stent graft.
abstract: Thoracic aortic stent grafts have been widely used. We report two cases of proximal misaligned deployment of the Valiant Captivia stent graft after hybrid treatment of thoracic aneurysms. This complication has, to our knowledge, never been previously reported in the literature with this stent graft. We discuss the various factors that may explain this complication. We also describe the bailout technique that was carried out.
