Abstract
A method involves percutaneously delivering an implant into a first blood vessel. The implant may have a flexible and/or elastic structure. The method also involves extending at least a distal portion of the implant out of the first blood vessel while retaining at least a proximal portion of the implant within the first blood vessel and injecting the implant with a fluid. The fluid is freely moveable between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The proximal portion may be shape-set to form a bulb.

A method comprising:
- percutaneously delivering an implant into a first blood vessel, the implant having a flexible and elastic structure;
- creating an opening in a wall of the first blood vessel;
- extending at least a distal portion of the implant through the opening and out of the first blood vessel while retaining at least a proximal portion of the implant within the first blood vessel;
- and
- injecting the implant with a fluid, the fluid being freely moveable between the proximal portion and the distal portion.
