Abstract
Disclosed is an adjustable occlusion device for use in a body lumen such as the left atrial appendage. The occlusion device is removably carried by a deployment catheter. The device may be enlarged or reduced to facilitate optimal placement or removal. Methods are also disclosed.
Claims11
An adjustable occlusion device deployment system, for implanting an occlusion device within a tubular structure in the body comprising:
- an occlusion device, movable between a reduced cross section and an enlarged cross section;
- and
- a deployment catheter, releasably attached to the occlusion device;
- a releasable lock for retaining the occlusion device on the catheter;
- and
- a core, for changing the cross-section of the occlusion device.
