A method and device used for treating an aneurysm of a patient. An embolization element that is adapted to reduce or block the blood flow into the aneurysm, together with a stent connected to the embolization element, is provided. The embolization element includes an expandible member. The embolization element and the stent are introduced into the vessel leading to and communicating with the aneurysm. The embolization element is directed into the aneurysm, with the stent being located in the vessel communicating with the aneurysm. In this manner, the stent becomes compressed against the inner wall of the vessel for anchoring the embolization element. In one form of the invention, the stent comprises a helical coil and the embolization element comprises a collapsible framework. |
