Late Retrograde Migration of a Left Subclavian Artery Chimney Stent-Graft Into the Innominate Artery

Conclusion: Migration of the proximal end of an overly long chimney graft that moved freely in the aortic arch exposed the patient to a high risk of stroke and death. Because of the high-risk situation, open repair under circulatory arrest was elected to remove the proximal end of the chimney graft, with no major complications.
