Summary: | A stent graft includes a fabric tube supported by and attached to a stent. A plurality of streamers are attached at one end to an outer surface of the fabric tube and have an unattached coagulant end that is free to move with respect to the fabric tube within a sac of an aneurism to promote coagulation of blood, such as to inhibit Type II endoleaks. Each of the streamers have a length dimension that is greater than both a width dimension and thickness dimension. The streamers may comprise at least one of a extracellular matrix material, a hydrogel and embolic fibers. |
