To determine the safety and efficacy of treating abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) sacs with polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) devices during endovascular repair (EVAR), using a technique to fully treat target lumen after endograft placement (aortic flow volume minus volume). SMP self-expand in sac form porous scaffold that supports thrombosis throughout its structure.
