1. A endograft implant, comprising:

  • a. a tubular implant body comprising an elastic proximal end, an elastic distal end, and an implant lumen, wherein the elastic proximal end and the elastic distal end each comprise a sealable circumferential collar;

    b. a distal variable sealing device contained within the distal sealable circumferential collar, the distal variable sealing device suitable for reversibly varying the diameter of the distal sealable circumferential collar;

    c. a proximal variable sealing device contained within the proximal sealable circumferential collar, the proximal variable sealing device suitable for reversibly varying the diameter of the proximal sealable circumferential collar;

    d. a distal control lead releasably connected to the distal variable sealing device for reversibly varying the diameter of the distal variable sealing device;

    e. a proximal control lead releasably connected to the proximal variable sealing device for reversibly varying the diameter of the proximal variable sealing device; and

    f. a plurality of retractable retention tines contained within the distal variable sealing device and the proximal variable sealing device, wherein the retractable retention tines are exposed or withdraw upon varying the diameter of each variable sealing device.
