title: [Open stent-grafting for a distal aortic arch aneurysm with a endotracheal tube].
abstract: An open stent-grafting for a distal aortic arch aneurysm with a endotracheal tube is presented herein. The graft which has a Gianturco Z stent at its distal end was successfully inserted into the descending thoracic aorta through a endotracheal tube without fluoroscopy. This technique might easily deploy the stent-graft without damage of aortic wall compared with other deployment methods.
