Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device, method, and system for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms is described, where the device is an endovascular graft implant that one or more adjustable elements. The adjustable elements provide improved performance, for example, reduced leaking. The adjustable elements are adjustable within the body of a patient in a minimally invasive or non-invasive manner such as by applying energy percutaneously or external to the patient's body. Examples of suitable types of energy include, for example, acoustic energy, radio frequency energy, light energy, and magnetic energy.
