1. A system for treating an aneurysm comprising:

  • a catheter delivery system having a distal tip, wherein when the catheter delivery system is in a deployed configuration, the distal tip of the catheter delivery system is placed between an outside surface of a stent and a luminal wall of the aneurysm; and

    an aneurysm filler,wherein the aneurysm filler is passable through the distal tip of the catheter delivery system such that the aneurysm filler, when in a first deployed configuration, deploys through the distal tip between the outside surface of the stent and the luminal wall,wherein when the aneurysm filler is in a second deployed configuration, a portion of the aneurysm filler contacts the stent and the luminal wall,wherein the aneurysm filler forms into a foam configuration when exposed to a fluid,wherein when the aneurysm filler is in the first deployed configuration, the aneurysm filler has a first length, wherein when the aneurysm filler is in the second deployed configuration, the aneurysm filler has a second length, wherein the second length is greater than the first length, and wherein the second length has more bends than the first length.
