Claim 20:
21. A medical device comprising:
a device body comprising:
a first section;
a plurality of second sections, wherein the plurality of second sections comprises at least three second sections; and
a third section connected to the first section on an opposite side of the first section from the plurality of second sections,
wherein the device body defines a longitudinal axis extending in a direction from the third section to the plurality of second sections, and
wherein, in a deployed configuration of the device body:
the first section defines a plurality of first section loops forming a three-dimensional non-helical structure configured to anchor the device body in vasculature of a patient,
each second section of the plurality of second sections defines a plurality of second section loops forming a three-dimensional non-helical structure, the three-dimensional non-helical structure of at least one of the first section or each second section being an approximately polyhedral structure having three or more sides,
each second section of the plurality of second sections has a maximum cross-sectional dimension that is smaller than a maximum cross-sectional dimension of the first section, and
the third section forms a different sized and shaped structure than the three-dimensional non-helical structures formed by the first and second sections and defines a third section loop larger than at least one first section loop of the plurality of first section loops.
