Abstract
An endovascular prosthesis for implantation in a body passageway. The prosthesis comprises an elongate tubular wall comprising an annular portion for occlusion of a section of the body passageway. The annular portion comprises a first porous section and a non-porous section. In one embodiment, the non-porous section may comprise a cover material. In another embodiment, the non-porous section may comprise a series of slits, microcuts, slots, apertures and the like which serve to impede the flow of bodily fluid therethrough resulting in occlusion of an aortic disease condition located exteriorly adjacent to the deployed prosthesis.

26. A method for endovascular blocking of an aortic disease condition in a body passageway of a patient with an endovascular prosthesis comprising an elongate tubular wall, the tubular wall comprising an annular portion for occlusion of the aortic disease condition, the annular portion comprising a first porous section and a non-porous section, the method comprising the steps of:
-
disposing the prosthesis in a catheter;
inserting the prosthesis and catheter within a body passageway by catheterization of the body passageway;
translating the prosthesis and catheter to a target body passageway at which the aortic disease condition is located;
positioning non-porous section such that it is substantially aligned with the aortic disease condition;
exerting a radially outward expansive force on the tubular wall such that the tubular wall is urged against the target body passageway; and
urging the non-porous section against the aortic disease condition thereby blocking the aortic disease condition. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
