Abstract

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