A delivery system includes the guidewire. The hollow core may contain a substance that is adapted to be eluted from the tubular member or permanently contained inside. The device may further comprise a graft. The device may also comprise a plurality of filamentary members, more than one of which may comprise tubular members. The device may also have a severable extension that extends outside of the body through which the substance may be periodically injected.
