ABSTRACT:
A prosthesis for imparting structural integrity to a blood vessel having an aneurysm comprising a longitudinal member having an external surface, a first end, a second end, and an internal surface defining a longitudinal bore. The internal surface is provided with a constriction to increase the velocity of a fluid passing through the longitudinal bore. A plurality of apertures provide fluid communication between the external surface and the longitudinal bore at the constriction to cause a suction that will diminish the pressure within the aneurysmal sack.
