Vascular hole closure device

摘要

A device for closing an aperture in a vessel wall comprising an elongated member positionable inside the vessel against an internal opening of the aperture and having a dimension exceeding a dimension of the internal opening of the aperture to prevent egress of fluid through the aperture. At least two curved legs are coupled to the elongated member, curve in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated member, and are positionable outside the vessel to help retain the elongated member in position the legs.
