Schema of TENSE technique. (A) Schema of distal aortic arch aneurysm. (B) Deployment of the Frozenix J-graft with matching the proximal stump of the stent part to the distal anastomosis end of the aortic arch. (C) Anastomosis of the branched vascular graft with an everted distal end, the Frozenix J-graft with exclusion of the non-stent part, and the aortic arch. (D) Final schema of TENSE technique.
