The J Graft Open Stent Graft (JOSG) is used for the frozen elephant trunk procedure in Japan. We report a 70-year-old male who developed a rapidly progressing distal arch aneurysm caused by a distal stent graft-induced new entry (DSINE) 7 months after the procedure. The JOSG was originally implanted at the curved part of the distal arch. It created its initial DSINE on the greater curve and rapidly “sprang” back in 2 months. Urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair fixed this serious complication. We should remember such rapid progression of DSINE by JOSG and treat its initial sign earlier.
