Abstract
A method of treating an aneurysm, including determining a diameter associated with a vessel having the aneurysm; selecting one of a plurality of braided implants for treating the vessel, wherein each braided implant comprises a porosity substantially consistent over up to a 1 mm diameter range, each braided implant configured to provide consistent porosity over different diameter ranges; and treating the vessel with the one of the plurality of braided implants.
Claims19
A method of treating an aneurysm, the method comprising:
- determining a vessel diameter associated with a vessel having the aneurysm, the vessel being tapered up to a 1 mm diameter range;
- selecting one of a plurality of braided implants for treating the vessel, wherein each braided implant comprises a porosity consistent over the up to a 1 mm vessel diameter range, each braided implant configured to provide consistent porosity over different vessel diameter ranges;
- and
- treating the vessel with the one of the plurality of braided implants,
- wherein each braided implant of the plurality of implants comprises a porosity of 65%-70% that is consistent over the up to the 1 mm vessel diameter range.

- selecting one of a plurality of braided implants for treating the vessel, wherein each braided implant comprises a porosity consistent over the up to a 1 mm vessel diameter range, each braided implant configured to provide consistent porosity over different vessel diameter ranges;
- and
- treating the vessel with the one of the plurality of braided implants,
- wherein the treating the vessel further comprises:
- extending a first braided implant of the plurality of implants through a portion of the vessel comprising a diameter range of 2 to 3 mm;
- and
- extending a second braided implant of the plurality of implants through a portion of the vessel comprising a diameter range of 2.5 to 3.5 mm,
- wherein a pore density of the second braided implant is 23 pores/mm2.
