AN IMPLANTABLE COIL FOR INSERTION INTO A HOLLOW BODY ORGAN

摘要

An implant for placement within a hollow body organ. The implant includes a member having an undeployed shape for delivery to the hollow body and a deployed shape for implantation therein. The member has sufficient rigidity in its deployed shape to exert an outward force against an interior of the hollow body so as to bring together two substantially opposing surfaces of the hollow body.
