Abstract
A device for at least partially occluding an aneurysm is disclosed. The device includes a first elongate member having a distal end. A bridge is positioned proximate the distal end and transformable between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. A second elongate member is movable relative to the first elongate member, the first and second elongate members being configured such that one can be moved relative to the other in order to transform the bridge between the delivery and deployed configurations.
Claims11
An apparatus for implantation in an aneurysm, the apparatus comprising:
- an insertion portion;
- and
- an expandable implant, configured to be deployed in an aneurysm, coupled to the insertion portion, the expandable implant having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being coupled to the first portion, the expandable implant having a delivery configuration in which the first portion and the second portion are substantially linearly aligned and a deployed configuration in which the first portion comprises a first petal-like member, and the second portion comprises a second petal-like member that at least partially overlays the first petal-like member, wherein each of the first and second petal-like members have a lengthwise dimension and curved sides defining a non-uniform width transverse to the lengthwise dimension, and wherein the curved sides are elastically deformable to define the respective first and second petal-like members as the implant transitions from the delivery configuration to the deployed configuration.
