Claims20
An arterial occlusion device comprising two opposing occluding barriers having a flexible central section interposed therebetween, whereby the central section may bend to allow the barriers to be oriented within nonparallel planes spaced apart within a curved section of artery,
- and wherein one or more flexible sealing elements extend from the occlusion device about or adjacent to at least one of the barriers, the sealing elements being collapsible to allow them to gather about the barrier when pushed by flow within the artery.
An arterial occlusion device comprising two opposing occluding barriers having a central section interposed therebetween, wherein the central section is recessed to have a lesser circumference than those of the barriers to thereby allow the apex of a curved artery wall to be received within the recess,
- and wherein the device includes one or more flexible sealing elements extending about or adjacent to at least one of the barriers, the sealing elements being foldable when subjected to flow within the artery.
