Abstract
A system for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel comprises a docking scaffold having with upstream and downstream ends, and a central passageway therebetween. The upstream end engages the blood vessel upstream of the aneurysm. A portion of a first and second scaffolds are slidably received in the central passageway such that an outside surface of the first and second scaffolds engage an inside surface of the docking scaffold. A double-walled filling structure has outer and inner walls and the filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filling medium so that the outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and the inner wall forms a substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow therethrough. The double-walled filling structure is coupled with at least one of the first and second leg scaffolds in expanded configuration.
