An occlusion system comprising:
- a delivery catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, a proximal portion, and a distal portion;
- and
- an occlusion device coupled to the delivery catheter with the occlusion device in a reduced profile delivery configuration, the occlusion device including:
- a barrier member including a radially enlargeable portion,
- a tail portion extending from the enlargeable portion,
- an anchor feature arranged with the enlargeable portion of the barrier member, and
- a lumen extending through the enlargeable portion and the anchor portion and configured to receive the delivery catheter, the enlargeable portion and the tail portion being releasably coupled to the catheter such that the tail portion is radially unsupported and collapsible upon deployment from the delivery catheter.
