<p>An implantable medical device (10) includes first and second material capture elements (12, 14) which are disposed in opposing orientations and have their narrow ends (18) facing one another. The first and second material capture elements (12, 14) are connected by a flexible connector (26), which enables the implantable medical device (10) to curve within a curved vessel of a patient. The flexible connector (26) is either closed or has a lumen passing therethrough and includes a closure element for closing the lumen after deployment of the device (10) within a patient. The structure enables the device (10) to be positioned reliably within a curved vessel and benefits from the advantage of a double-ended device.</p> |
