Abstract
A method for treating a blood vessel in a wall forming a gastrointestinal tract of a body of a mammal. At least one nonaqueous solution is introduced from the gastrointestinal tract into the vessel. A nonbiodegradable solid is formed in the vessel in the vicinity of a portion of the vessel from the least one nonaqueous solution to create an occlusion in the vessel and thus terminate blood flow to the vessel distal of the occlusion.
