Abstract
Abstract An at least partially preformed polymeric product for paving or sealing the interior surface of a tissue lumen (171) by entering the interior of the tissue lumen (171) and applying said polymer to the interior surface of the tissue lumen (171). The polymer can be delivered to the lumen (171) as a monomer or prepolymer solution, or as an at least partially preformed layer (172).
