Estimating the term…
An occlusion device having a lumen defined therethrough and a saddle narrower than saddles of prior occlusion devices or stents to allow provision of an occlusion element with respect to a portion of the saddle to occlude flow of materials through the saddle. The inner diameter of the narrowed saddle may be 6 mm or less. The occlusion element may be formed from a material which plugs a portion of the occlusion device lumen extending through the saddle and/or which restrains a portion of the saddle from expanding thereby occluding flow of materials therethrough. The remainder of the saddle and/or inwardly facing surfaces of at least one retention member extending outwardly along an end of the saddle may be configured to promote tissue ingrowth, such as by remaining uncoated.
An occlusion device having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region therebetween, and defining a lumen therethrough, said occlusion device comprising:
A method of occluding flow of materials through an occlusion device, said method comprising:
An occlusion device having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate region therebetween, and defining a lumen therethrough, said occlusion device comprising:
