Descending thoracic aneurysms can be treated with a stent graft provided that there is sufficient proximal and distal aortic neck length above the celiac axis. One of the options for the treatment of thoracic aneurysms with a too short distal neck is described in this report. For this purpose, a stent graft was constructed with a scallop for the celiac axis. Three cases are presented, and the technical details are described.
