Abstract
A lumbar occluding device or patch is disclosed for reducing Type II endoleaks in connection with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of aortic aneurisms. The lumbar occluding patch can be applied to a vessel wall and, more particularly, the posterior wall of the aortic artery in the location of the abdominal aneurysm to block or occlude an array of lumbar artery ostia concurrent with or following a stent graft deployment in an EVAR procedure.
