1. A method for in situ embolization of blood vessels associated with an aneurysmal sac which method comprises:

  • (a) identifying an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient;

    (b) embolizing the lumbar and/or mesenteric arteries associated with the aneurysmal sac wherein said embolization comprises delivering through a microcatheter a sufficient amount of a biocompatible fluid composition to said arteries under conditions where the fluidic composition solidifies thereby embolizing said arteries; and

    (c) subsequently endovascularly repairing said aneurysm by catheter delivery of an endovascular prosthesis to the site of said aneurysm thereby inhibiting blood flow into the aneurysm.
