Abstract:
1. A method of repairing an endoluminal leak through a tubular graft comprising: forming, inside said tubular graft, a repair cavity about said endoluminal leak so that said endoluminal leak is isolated from blood flow, verifying said repair cavity is positioned about said endoluminal leak by injecting a test fluid into said repair cavity and determining whether said test fluid leaks through said graft; verifying a seal about said perimeter edge of said repair cavity by determining whether said test fluid leaks into a lumen containing said graft; rinsing said repair cavity after said verifying operations are successful; and injecting, after said rinsing said repair cavity, a repair agent into said repair cavity to seal said endoluminal leak thereby repairing said endoluminal leak.
