Claim Text:
1. A medical device, comprising: a vessel member that defines a compartment interior of the vessel member, the vessel member being configured to be inserted into a body of a patient; a port, the port coupling the compartment interior of the vessel member to a region exterior of the vessel member; a tubular member that defines a lumen and includes a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the tubular member being attached to an internal surface of the vessel member within the compartment interior so that a portion of the internal surface of the vessel member provides a seal at the distal end of the lumen, wherein the tubular member extends through the port and wherein the proximal end of the tubular member is configured to remain exterior of the compartment interior; and a stopping member that is adapted to engage with the proximal end of the tubular member, wherein at least a portion of the stopping member is sized larger than an opening of the port such that when the stopping member is engaged with the proximal end of the tubular member the proximal end of the tubular member is prevented from passing through the port and into the compartment interior, wherein the tubular member is configured to receive a delivery of a filling material into the lumen that causes an additional length of the tubular member to pass through the port and into the compartment interior of the vessel member, and wherein the tubular member is configured to contain the filling material within the lumen of the tubular member.
