<p>The present invention relates to methods for treating an aneurysm or other vascular condition in a patient by implanting an extravascular intervention device to partially or substantially encircle a blood vessel, or portion thereof, having the vascular condition. The present invention also provides extravascular devices for use in treating patients with aneurysms and other vascular conditions. The extravascular intervention devices provide extravascular support to vascular walls of an aneurysm, thereby reducing the stress on the aneurysm walls and reducing the risk of rupture. The extravascular intervention devices may further be used as means for administering therapeutic agents to vascular targets extravascularly.</p> |
