Abstract
A blood flow diversion device to treat an aneurysm at a bifurcation artery, the blood flow diversion device having a plurality of legs that anchors the blood flow diversion device onto a parent artery of the bifurcation artery, and a plurality of branches that extends from the plurality of legs. The plurality of branches includes a plurality of upstream branches positioned above the plurality of legs to lie on a upstream portion of an aneurysm entrance of the aneurysm and divert the blood flow towards children arteries of the bifurcation artery, and a plurality of downstream branches positioned above the plurality of upstream branches to extend within an internal volume of the aneurysm and promote thrombosis formation in the internal volume.

A blood flow diversion device to treat an aneurysm at a bifurcation artery, the blood flow diversion device comprising:
- a plurality of legs configured to anchor the blood flow diversion device onto a parent artery of the bifurcation artery;
- a branch support affixed to the plurality of legs;
- a plurality of branches that extends from the branch support, the plurality of branches including:
- a plurality of upstream branches positioned above the plurality of legs and configured to lie on a upstream portion of an aneurysm entrance of the aneurysm and divert blood flow towards other arteries of the bifurcation artery, and
- a plurality of downstream branches positioned above the plurality of upstream branches and configured to extend within an internal volume of the aneurysm and promote thrombosis formation in the internal volume.
