Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel, the apparatus comprising:
an elongate push member configured to be advanced within a lumen of a catheter; and
an occlusion element detachably disposed on a distal portion of the push member, the occlusion element comprising:
a single inner anchoring member, wherein the push member extends from a proximal side of the inner cover and the single inner anchoring member extends from a distal side of the inner cover, wherein the occlusion element is configured to fit within the lumen of the catheter and is configured to be slid out of the lumen at the distal end of the catheter in response to movement of the push member relative to the catheter, wherein the inner cover has a collapsed configuration for placement through the lumen of the catheter and an expanded configuration when advanced out of the lumen of the catheter, wherein in the expanded configuration, a distally-facing surface of the inner cover comprises a concavity and a peripheral portion of the inner cover has an expanded diameter, such that when the occlusion element is delivered into an aneurysm having a neck portion and an interior surface, the expanded diameter of the inner cover is greater than a diameter of the neck portion of the aneurysm, such that a first portion of a proximally-facing surface of the inner cover contacts a first portion of the interior surface of the aneurysm and such that a second portion of the proximally-facing surface of the inner cover covers the neck portion of the aneurysm, and wherein the single inner anchoring member comprises a single loop configured to contact a second portion of the interior surface of the aneurysm.
