An apparatus and method for treating an aneurysm (23) in a vessel (20) that isolates a volume around the aneurysm, evacuates that volume and heats the aneurysmal wall (24). A catheter (31) includes one or more inflatable balloons (34, 35) for defining the isolated volume and occluding and preventing any blood flow through the volume. Suction applied through the catheter (31, 55) to the isolated volume withdraws any blood in the isolated volume and displaces the tissue for contact with a thermal source (50) that heats the aneurysmal wall. When the treatment is completed, the balloons are deflated and the catheter is removed from the vessel.

Instrument et procédé de traitement d'un anévrisme (23) sur un vaisseau (20) consistant à isoler puis évacuer le volume entourant l'anévrisme et à en chauffer la paroi (24). On utilise un cathéter (31) à un ou plusieurs ballonnets gonflables (34, 35) pour définir le volume à isoler et le fermer afin d'y prévenir tout afflux de sang. Une succion effectuée par l'intermédiaire du cathéter (31, 55) à l'intérieur du volume isolé en extrait le sang pouvant s'y trouver et déplace les tissus qui entrent alors en contact avec la source de chaleur (50) qui chauffe la paroi anévrismale. Lorsque l'opération est achevée, les ballonnets sont dégonflés, et le cathéter retiré du vaisseau.
