title: [Open stent-grafting for the distal arch aneurysm using a new delivery system].
abstract: Recently, open stent-grafting has been employed for distal arch aneurysm. However, several complications have been reported. We have used a new delivery system (CLATE) in 8 patients who underwent open stent-grafting. The advantage of CLATE is that it is flexible, and can freely change its shape. Using this delivery system, stent graft is hard to dislocate, and can be delivered at the target site accurately. Therefore, CLATE is considerd to be able to prevent aortic wall injury, peripheral embolic complication and paraplegia.
