ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to aneurysm treatment devices which are capable of being delivered to the situs of a vascular aneurysm through a catheter. The treatment devices comprise, in general, an expandable stent having fenestrations and a reactive material selectively applied to not all of the fenestrations. The reactive material has a non-reacted state and a reacted state and the reactive material in the reacted state is capable of increasing the resistance to blood flow through said fenestrations.
