A catheter-deliverable filter assembly deployable in a vessel of the body in alternatively a temporary configuration enabling the filter to be removed from the vessel or a permanent configuration, and a method for its use. The filter assembly comprises an elongated support carrying spaced along its length a filter element and a anchoring element with the filter element being spaced distally from the anchoring element. Each element comprises a core mounted to the elongated support and a plurality of flexible, resilient wires extending distally from the core, the wires having proximal portions attached at one end to the core and distal portions. The wires of the anchoring element include gripping elements for gripping the walls of a vessel. The wires are so configured as to support the apices of the filter and anchoring elements substantially in the center of the vessel. The filter assembly may include a hollow flexible tether releasably attached to the proximal end of the elongated support and having a distal end portion within which are resiliently confined the wires of the anchoring element when the filter element alone is deployed.

Disclosed are methods for treating endoleaks arising from endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The disclosed methods involve the in situ sealing of endoleaks after placement of an endovascular prostheses in the abdominal aorta. Sealing of endoleaks is achieved by injection of either a biocompatible polymer or prepolymer fluid composition into the endoleak which composition in situ solidifies to seal the leak. Preferably, the biocompatible fluid composition comprises a contrast agent to allow the clinician to visualize the sealing process.

Disclosed are methods for inhibiting the formation of potential endoleaks associated with endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms which comprise the in situ embolization of blood vessels associated with the aneurysmal sac prior to placement of an endovascular prostheses in the abdominal aorta. Embolization of the blood vessels is achieved by injection of either a biocompatible polymer or prepolymer fluid composition into these vessels in a sufficient amount such that upon in situ solidification of this composition, blood circulation through these blood vessels and the aneurysmal sac ceases.
