Systems for treating aneurysms provide additional support to an aneurysmal wall by disposing a flexible vascular liner against or in close proximity to the aneurysmal wall. A system (10) comprises a liner (18) having a liner medial wall portion (18A) which is a unitary liner wall and flexibly expansive to conform to the wall (48) of the aneurysm (42). Proximal and distal anchors (22A, 22B) may be associated with the proximal and distal liner portions. The liner inhibits failure of the aneurysmal wall. The liner may also inhibit further growth in diameter of the aneurysm. Aneurysms in single arteries or near branched arteries may be supported by a flexible vascular liner. |
