## Abstract

A device useful for treating an aneurysm having a neck comprises a first inflatable disc and a second inflatable disc, said second inflatable disc being adjacent to said first inflatable disc and in fluid communication therewith. The inflatable discs are sized and constructed such that when the inflatable discs are inflated, the aneurysm neck is engaged therebetween. The inflatable discs may include at least one wall that is substantially inelastic and may include an internal member limiting expansion of the inflatable disc in a direction parallel to the device axis. The inflatable discs may have an aspect ratio greater than 3.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel, the aneurysm having a neck and a sack, comprising:
a first inflatable disc; and
a second inflatable disc, said second inflatable disc being adjacent to said first inflatable disc and in fluid communication therewith;
a pressure controlled one-way valve controlling a fluid communication pathway between the first and second discs and comprising the opening of said valve when the pressure difference between the discs exceeds a predetermined level and the valve pressure control prevents over inflation of the discs;
wherein said first and second inflatable discs comprise a plurality of webs made from substantially inelastic material extending from one interior side of the disc to the opposing side of the disc so that the webs prevent each inflatable disc from expanding more than a predetermined amount; and
wherein said first and second inflatable discs are sized and constructed such that when one inflatable disc is positioned in the aneurysm sack and said first and second inflatable discs are inflated, the aneurysm neck is engaged there between.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device in accordance with claim 1, further including a guide wire on which said inflatable discs are mounted during placement.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said first and second inflatable discs includes an inner wall and an outer wall and at least one of said walls is substantially inelastic.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device in accordance with claim 1 wherein each of said first and second inflatable discs includes an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein at least one of said walls is substantially inelastic, and wherein at least one of said inner walls is elastic.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device in accordance with claim 1 wherein at least one of said first and second inflatable discs has an aspect ratio greater than 3 of width to height.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device in accordance with claim 1 wherein said first and second inflatable discs are each concave when viewed from the distal end.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein said first inflatable disc and said second inflatable disc are elliptical.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein at least one of first inflatable disc or second inflatable disc has a curved profile so as to maintain laminar blood flow.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein at least one of first inflatable disc has a flat profile so as to maintain laminar blood flow.

### Claim 10 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3 wherein the outer wall of each inflatable disc comprises a partial spherical surface, a frustoconical surface, or a parabolic surface to minimize disruption of blood flow through the blood vessel.
