Abstract:
1. A method of implanting a stent at an aneurysm in a blood vessel, the method comprising: advancing, within the blood vessel, an elongate body comprising a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a lumen extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, until the distal portion is proximate to the aneurysm; advancing, relative to the elongate body and from within the lumen of the elongate body, a stent in a compressed configuration; expanding the stent within the vessel, such that the stent extends from a first location distal to the aneurysm to a second location proximal to the aneurysm; and following the expanding the stent and upon confirming that a body of the aneurysm has more than about 30% occlusion formation forming partial occlusion of the aneurysm, wherein said occlusion formation is indicative of a correlated level of thrombosis, withdrawing the elongate body from the vessel.
