The sealing/anchoring element, in one aspect, includes a circlet having an inside surface having an inside diameter (d), an outside surface having an outside diameter (d), a width (w), and a wall thickness (t). In one aspect, the circlet has one or more geometric features that allow it to elasto/plastically deform when moved from a radially reduced state to a radially enlarged state, and the circlet comprises an expandable metal configured to expand in response to hydrolysis.
