Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for reducing the lateral displacement of an endovascular device, e.g. a stent graft, within an aneurysm sac. A stabilization system comprising one or more stabilizing elements is inserted within the aneurysm space between an implanted device and the vessel wall. Filling this space prevents changes in curvature of the implanted endovascular device, and prevents longitudinal displacement, thereby providing for improved long-term stability and durability of endovascular repair.
