Aneurysmal disease involving the origins of supra aortic vessels often requires complex open and/or endovascular repair that is not only associated with significant risk of mortality and morbidity but also often with perioperative blood loss requiring transfusion. We report a successful repair of a large thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) involving the aortic arch with a custom-made Bolton Relay 2-vessel branched thoracic aortic endograft in a 42-year-old Jehovah’s Witness who would otherwise be very unlikely to survive an open repair. Branched thoracic aortic endografting offers a potentially safe, minimally invasive, and effective alternative for TAA disease involving the supra-aortic arteries, especially in patients who are at high risk of open surgery.
