IMPLANTABLE LUMINAL DEVICES

摘要

An implant may include a frame and a cover to facilitate endoluminal vessel occlusion, selective release of embolic material toward a target region, and/or endoluminal stenting. The frame of the implant provides radial expansion properties to secure the cover within a body vessel. The cover and/or the frame can occlude flow of a fluid through the body vessel.

主权项

1. An expandable device for delivery to a target location in a body vessel, comprising:
a first elongate member having (i) a first portion extending along an arcuate path in a clockwise circumferential direction, (ii) a second portion extending along an arcuate path in a counterclockwise circumferential direction, and (iii) a third portion interconnecting the first and second portions; and a second elongate member coupled to the first elongate member, the second member having (i) a first portion extending along an arcuate path in a counterclockwise circumferential direction, (ii) a second portion extending along an arcuate path in a clockwise circumferential direction, and (iii) a third portion interconnecting the first and second portions, wherein the first member third portion is coupled to the second member third portion to interconnect the first and second members, and wherein the first and second portions of the first and second members are spaced apart from each other to collectively define a frame having a central lumen extending therethrough.
