Surgical repair of lumen defects is associated with periprocedural morbidity and mortality. Endovascular repair with tissue adhesives may reduce host tissue damage, but current bioadhesive designs do not support minimally-invasive deployment. Voltage-activated tissue adhesives offer a new strategy f...
