Claim Text:
1. A method of treating an aortic dissection having a true lumen and a false lumen, comprising: deploying a support structure in the true lumen of a blood vessel adjacent to or overlapping a portion of the dissection to maintain the true lumen in an open state; advancing a bag in a collapsed state as part of a catheter with a fill lumen into the false lumen; inflating the bag while said bag is in the false lumen using a filling medium provided to said bag through the fill lumen such that the bag conforms to an inner layer between the true lumen and the false lumen and covers a tear formed in the inner layer to block blood flow through the false lumen; and separating the bag from the catheter while maintaining the bag in the false lumen.
