Abstract
Embodiments of devices and methods for vessel occlusion include an endoluminal occlusion device having a support structure forming at least two open loops with a crossover point between adjacent loops and free movement of the support structure at the crossover between adjacent loops, wherein the support structure is configured to extend along the walls of a lumen; and a first occlusive material attached to and across one of the at least two loops formed by the support structure, wherein the occlusive material is configured to occlude the flow of fluid within the lumen.

An endoluminal occlusion device, comprising:
- a support structure forming at least two open loops with a crossover point between adjacent loops and free movement of the support structure at the crossover between adjacent loops, wherein the support structure is configured to extend along the walls of a lumen;
- and
- a first occlusive material attached to and across one of the at least two loops formed by the support structure, wherein the occlusive material is configured to occlude the flow of fluid within the lumen.
An occlusion device, comprising:
- a first spiral support member having a first end and a second end;
- a second spiral support member positioned adjacent to and crossing the first spiral support member to form an open loop between the first end or the second end of the first spiral support member and a movable crossover point where the second spiral support member crosses the first spiral support member;
- and
- an occlusive material extending to and across the open loop, wherein the occlusive material is configured to occlude the flow of fluid within a lumen.
