An occlusion device comprising:
- (a) a substantially solid marker band having an inner and outer diameter, a proximal end, and a distal end;
- and (b) a resilient mesh body attached within the marker band, wherein the body has a length y, and wherein the body further comprises a bolus of additional resilient mesh material of a length x, wherein y is greater than x, wherein the body is a dual layer of resilient mesh folded over onto itself, has folded over ends of the resilient mesh, all the folded over ends of the dual layer of mesh are attached within the marker, and wherein the body extends distally from the marker band having a first delivery shape and a second expandable deployed inverted mushroom shape.
A method for treating or ameliorating Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) in a patient, the method comprising:
- i.) delivering to an LAA an occlusion device, wherein the device comprises (a) a substantially solid marker band having an inner and outer diameter, a proximal end, and a distal end;
- and (b) a resilient mesh body attached within the marker band, wherein the body is a length y, and wherein the body further comprises a bolus of additional resilient mesh material of a length x, wherein y is greater than x,
- ii.) wherein the body is a dual layer of resilient mesh folded over onto itself, all the folded over ends of the dual layer of mesh are attached within the marker, and wherein the body extends distally from the marker band having a first delivery shape and a second expandable deployed inverted mushroom shape;
- and
- ii.) deploying the occlusion device in the LAA, thereby treating or ameliorating LAA in the patient.
