Patent ID: 7105031

Claim:
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, wherein a perimeter edge of said repair cavity contacts an inner wall of said tubular graft to define a surface area on said inner wall; said inner wall has an inner wall circumference; and said surface area extends circumferentially around said inner wall less than said inner wall circumference so that said repair cavity does not extend circumferentially around said inner wall of said graft; 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.
