Abstract
An intrasaccular device particularly adapted for treating body lumens. The intrasaccular device includes structure that provides a strong framework as well as improved covering across an opening to an aneurysm sac. The intrasaccular device is intended to retain foreign bodies within the aneurysm sac and includes members for accomplishing this objective. The intrasaccular device is also provided with structure that facilitates the alignment of a plurality of devices deployed within the sac.
Claims30
A device for insertion in a saccular cavity of a patient, comprising:
- a body formed from a tubular member, the body including a first end, a second end and a midsection;
- and
- wherein the body is expandable from a reduced profile to an expanded profile, the reduced profile suited for insertion into the saccular cavity and the expandable profile defined at least in part by the saccular cavity.
A system for treating a saccular cavity of a patient, comprising:
- a first intrasaccular device, the first intrasaccular device having members configured into a clockwise spiral;
- and
- a second intrasaccular device, the second intrasaccular device having members configured into a counterclockwise spiral;
- wherein the first and second intrasaccular devices cooperate to form a crossing mesh pattern.
A method for treating saccular cavities found in vasculature using a tubular delivery catheter adapted for releasably receiving expandable intrasaccular devices embodying a monolithic body cut from a tube, comprising the steps of:
- advancing the delivery catheter and expandable intrasaccular device within a patient's vasculature to the saccular cavity;
- and
- releasing the monolithic body of the expandable intrasaccular device within the saccular cavity.
