Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a self-expanding braided tubular member (10) for treating an aneurysm. The braid can include a distal implant end opposite a proximal implant end. Translating the braid distally from within a tubular delivery member (34) can cause the distal implant end to invert and fold into itself thereby forming an occlusive sack (12) for occluding an aneurysm.
Claims20
A system for treating an aneurysm, the system comprising:
- a braided tubular implant having a distal implant end and a proximal implant end, the braided tubular implant being invertible about the distal implant end;
- a tubular delivery member about the braided tubular implant, the tubular member having a distal end releasably connected to the distal implant end:
- wherein translation of the braided tubular implant distally from the tubular member causes the braided tubular implant to invert and fold into itself thereby forming an occlusive sack configured to occlude the aneurysm.
A system for an occlusive device for treating an aneurysm, comprising:
- a delivery tube comprising a distal end and a proximal end, the delivery tube being slidably disposable within a microcatheter;
- and
- a pushing mechanism slidably disposed with or within the delivery tube, the pushing mechanism comprising a distal end and a proximal end;
- the occlusive device being slidably disposed within the delivery tube and mechanically-attached to the pushing mechanism, the occlusive device comprising a braid having a distal implant end and a proximal implant end,
- wherein distally translating the braid, by the pushing mechanism, causes the distal implant end to invert and fold into itself thereby forming an occlusive sack for the aneurysm;
- wherein the distal end of the delivery tube comprises upper and lower gripping arms, one or both gripping arms being pivotable towards the other gripping arm to release the braid from the delivery tube.
