See full text

Methods and devices are provided to contribute to improved stent graft fixation within vessels at treatment sites. Improved stent graft fixation within vessels at treatment sites is provided by providing stent grafts and methods of making and using stent grafts having structural scaffoldings which undergo controlled galvanic corrosion in situ. Other embodiments include stent grafts having galvanic cells attached to the vessel luminal wall-contacting sides. Still other embodiments include stent grafts that undergo controlled galvanic corrosion and include at least one additional cell growth promoting factor.
