Abstract

Percutaneous treatment of aortic aneurysms and like vascular anomalies by an apparatus and method wherein the apparatus is delivered via catheter and comprises s sleeve with at least one peripheral conduit which is caused to assume are expanded, rigid configuration by the introduction of a chemical or mechanical hardening means, whereby the sleeve is caused to assume an open cylindrical configuration for fluid flow therethrough.

Claims (10)

1. An expandable device for insertion into a passage, said expandable device comprising a body formed of at least one flexible material, said body being convertible from a collapsed condition in which it is of a size to be inserted into the passage into an expanded condition in which the body is fixed relative to the passage, passage means in said body and extending over at least a region of the body, a plurality of microspheres releasably having rigidifying material therein, and inlet means communicating with said passage means to enable the microspheres having the rigidifying material to be introduced into said passage means so that, in use, at least said region of said body can be rigidified to maintain the body in its expanded condition.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the body is formed of at least one flexible sheet material.
3. The device of claim 2, wherein said at least one flexible sheet material is tubular or includes a tubular region.
4. The device of claim 1, wherein the inlet means is closable.
5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a filler means communicating with said passage means in the body via the inlet means.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein the sidewall of the body which engages with the sidewall of the passage in use, is formed of at least one flexible sheet material.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein the passage means is disposed inwardly or outwardly of said at least one flexible sheet material or between the flexible sheet materials when more than one is provided.
8. The device of claim 1, wherein the rigidifying material comprises an activatable hardening material selected from polymerizable polymers selected from the group consisting of one-part polymer systems, two-part polymer systems and self-expanding monomers.
9. The device of claim 1, wherein said plurality of microspheres being constructed and arranged to release the rigidifying material upon disruption of the plurality of microspheres, thereby allowing the rigidifying material to be rigidified.
10. The device of claim 1, wherein the rigidifying material comprises a first component and a second component, said first component and said second component being isolated from each other by said plurality of microspheres and carried in said plurality of microspheres, said plurality of microspheres being constructed and arranged to release said first and second components upon disruption of the plurality of microspheres, thereby allowing said first and second components to react and harden.
