METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INCREASING A DENSITY OF A REGION OF A VASCULAR DEVICE

摘要

A vascular device is provided that includes a mesh structure formed of a plurality of spaced members. The structure has (i) a first, collapsed configuration, (ii) a second, expanded configuration, and (iii) a density of the plurality of members. The vascular device further includes an elastic member disposed along a region of the structure, the region having a proximal end and a distal end. The elastic member is configured to increase the density within the region by drawing at least one of the proximal and distal ends of the region toward the other of the proximal and distal ends when the structure is in the second configuration.

1. A vascular device, comprising:
a mesh structure formed of a plurality of spaced members, the structure having (i) a first, collapsed configuration, (ii) a second, expanded configuration, and (iii) a density of the plurality of members; and an elastic film disposed along a region of the structure, the region having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the elastic film is configured to increase the density within the region by drawing at least one of the proximal and distal ends of the region toward the other of the proximal and distal ends when the structure is in the second configuration.
