Abstract
An implant for vascular treatment may include a wire having three or more sections, with adjacent sections having different stiffnesses and/or other properties to facilitate treating an aneurysm with a single instance of the wire. As compared to treating aneurysms using multiple coils, the wire having three or more sections may reduce the time required for treatment of the aneurysm.
Claims13
A system for vascular treatment, the system comprising:
- a catheter defining a lumen and a distal opening in fluid communication with one another;
- an implant including a wire having three or more sections coupled to one another and positionable in the lumen, and each adjacent pair of the three or more sections having stiffness varying therebetween;
- a tether coupled to the wire;
- and
- a pusher member detachably coupled to the wire via the tether, the pusher member advanceable in the lumen, advancement of the pusher member moving at least one of the three or more sections of the wire through the distal opening of the catheter to a deployed state defining a volume, into which at least another one of the three or more sections of the wire is packable to occupy at least a portion of an anatomical vessel of a subject.
2 more elements
A method of fabricating an implant for vascular treatment, the method comprising:
- heat-setting a first filar into a shape defining a first volume;
- and
- attaching a second filar to the first filar and to a third filar, the second filar differing in stiffness with respect to each of the first filar and the third filar, the first filar, the second filar, and the third filar respectively forming a first section, a second section, and a third section of a wire movable, in response to removal of external pressure on the wire, from a delivery state to a deployed state in which the first section is securable to a target anatomical location of a subject with the first section defining the first volume and at least the second section packable into the first volume.
