4. Positioning the Device
The hybrid prosthesis must be placed through the opened aortic arch into the descending thoracic aorta. This can
be done over a guide wire to ensure that the correct lumen is being treated (see Figure 7), for example in case of
dissection. The hybrid prosthesis should be orientated in accordance with the Plexus™ 4 part of the prosthesis,
note that the radiopaque markers on the stent graft are 90° from the arch branches.
