A vascular device comprising a first distal region and a second proximal region, the device movable between a collapsed position for delivery to the vessel and an expanded position for placement within the vessel, the second region having a mounting portion, the second region including a vessel engaging portion at the second end portion, the first region having a first spacer positioned at a distal portion and movable from a substantially flush collapsed position to an expanded position, the first spacer unwinding as it moves from the collapsed position to the expanded position to extend radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the device.

A vascular device comprising a body made from a single tube, the tube cut to create a plurality of elongated struts, a tubular region distal of the struts and having a first cutout formed therein to form a first spacer and a second cutout formed therein to form a second spacer axially spaced from the first spacer, the first and second spacers substantially aligned with the tubular region in a collapsed position and extending radially outwardly from the tubular region in the expanded position.
