1. A method for manufacturing a vascular device, comprising:

  • disposing a vascular device over an expanding member, the vascular device comprising a body having a substantially uniform porosity that is adapted to change by adjusting an axial length of the body; and

    adhering a portion of the body to the expanding member such that upon radial expansion of the expanding member, adherence between the body portion and the expanding member reduces a porosity of the body within the body portion more than the expanding member reduces a porosity of the body outside the body portion by axially shortening the body portion with the expanding member.
