1. A system for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel, said system comprising:

  • a docking scaffold radially expandable from a contracted configuration to an expanded configuration and having an upstream end, a downstream end and a central passageway therebetween, wherein in the expanded configuration the upstream end engages a portion of the blood vessel upstream of the aneurysm;

    a first leg scaffold radially expandable from a contracted configuration to an expanded configuration, wherein a portion of the first leg scaffold is slidably received in the central passageway such that an outside surface of the first leg scaffold in the expanded configuration engages an inside surface of the docking scaffold;

    a second leg scaffold radially expandable from a contracted configuration to an expanded configuration, wherein a portion of the second leg scaffold is slidably received in the central passageway such that an outside surface of the second leg scaffold in the expanded configuration engages an inside surface of the docking scaffold, anda first double-walled filling structure, the filling structure having an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein the filling structure is adapted to be filled with a hardenable fluid filling medium so that the outer wall conforms to an inside surface of the aneurysm and the inner wall forms a first substantially tubular lumen to provide a path for blood flow therethrough,wherein the first double-walled filling structure is coupled with at least one of the leg scaffolds in the expanded configuration.
