Stump-related embolism from a thrombosed carotid–subclavian bypass causing large vessel occlusion after thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Background: Kommerell diverticulum frequently requires thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with carotid–subclavian bypass (CSB). Although CSB is durable, delayed embolic stroke secondary to graft failure is rare. We report a rare case of large vessel occlusion caused by a...
