Abstract
A vascular implant body having an oval shaped side wall surrounding a bore wherein the side wall has opposed curved end portions, an outer surface and an inner surface surrounding the bore. There are first and second filter openings on opposing ends of the bore. The body is sized and shaped to change the shape of the patient's vascular system at a vessel implant site and reduce the area available for emboli to pass.
Claims20
A vascular implant, comprising:
- a) an implant body having an oval shaped side wall surrounding a bore wherein said side wall includes opposed curved end portions, an outer surface and an inner surface surrounding said bore;
- b) first and second filter openings on opposing ends of said bore;
- c) wherein said body is sized and shaped to change a shape of a patient's vascular system at a vessel implant site and reduce an area available for emboli to pass;
- and
- d) wherein, after placement in the vessel implant site, the body is configured to maintain a shape thereof until the vascular implant is retrieved, reabsorbed, or breaks.
