1. A method of treating a patient'"'"'s vasculature, comprising:

  • delivering an endovascular graft in a constrained state to a target location within a patient'"'"'s vasculature with a delivery system, the endovascular graft including a tubular graft body section and a distal self-expanding member disposed distally of the graft body section and the endovascular graft being disposed within an outer tubular member of the delivery system;

    retracting a distal section of the outer tubular member of the delivery system from the constrained endovascular graft;

    repositioning the endovascular graft by manipulation of a proximal portion of the delivery system; and

    deploying the distal self-expanding member of the graft by manipulation of a handle disposed on the proximal portion of the delivery system such that the distal self-expanding member engages tissue of the patient'"'"'s vasculature in which the graft is deployed and prevents axial migration of the graft due to blood flow within the patient'"'"'s vasculature.
