Claim Text:
1. A method of treating an aneurysm in a patient in need thereof, comprising: positioning a catheter percutaneously near an unsealed aneurysm in a vasculature of a patient; flowing a non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material through the catheter, wherein the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material consists of: depositing the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material from the catheter into the unsealed aneurysm in the vasculature, wherein the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material is deposited onto an aneurytic tissue within the unsealed aneurysm; and imaging the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material within the aneurysm by fluoroscopy; wherein the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material includes a viscosity such that the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material remains in the unsealed aneurysm, and wherein the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material does not induce a fibrotic response that permanently scars the vasculature when the non-particulate, non-fibrotic aneurysm filling material is in the aneurysm.
