| Abstract: | Abstract Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a safe and reliable technique utilized in the treatment for aortic aneurysms. However, in up to 40% of patients, devices are typically placed over the left subclavian artery (LSA) origin. In this report, we present a case of a successful TEVAR procedure following the transposition of the LSA with protective carotico‐axillary/carotid bypass in a patient with a patent left internal thoracic artery (LITA)‐left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery bypass graft and right internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion.
