Estimating the term…
An aneurysm treatment device for in situ treatment of aneurysms comprising a collapsible member having a first shape wherein the first shape is an expanded geometric configuration, and a second shape, wherein the second shape is a collapsed configuration that is loadable into a catheter. The aneurysm treatment device is capable of returning to the first shape in the lumen of an aneurysm. Some aneurysm treatment devices comprise a spreadable portion and a projecting portion integral with the spreadable portion. The spreadable portion is capable of resting against and supporting an inner wall of an aneurysm, the projecting portion is capable of being gripped by a surgeon to facilitate insertion and positioning of the device. Other devices have relatively simple shapes and can be implanted to a site as a plurality. Treatment methods are also disclosed.
An aneurysm treatment device for in situ treatment of aneurysms in mammals, optionally humans, the treatment device comprising at least one resiliently collapsible implant collapsible from a first, expanded configuration wherein the implant can support the wall of an aneurysm to a second collapsed configuration wherein the collapsible implant is deliverable into the aneurysm, and wherein the implant does not completely fill the aneurysm.
A method of treating an aneurysm comprising the steps of:
A method for the treatment or prevention of endoleaks from an implanted endovascular graft into a target vascular site, optionally an aneurysm, the method comprising delivering a number of porous and/or reticulated elastomeric implants in a compressed state, into the target site.
