Zusammenfassung:A method of occluding includes imbibing a porous elongate element comprised of ePTFE with a calcium-containing solution. The method also includes delivering, via a delivery catheter, the calcium-imbibed porous elongate element to a target occlusion site. The method further includes administering, after the calcium-imbibed porous elongate element has been completely delivered to the target occlusion site and resides entirely within a volume defined by the target occlusion site, an alginate-containing solution to the target occlusion site.
