Claim:
1. An aneurysm closure clip for treating an aneurysm in a body vessel of a patient, the closure clip comprising: a self-expanding frame having a proximal side and a distal side with respect to a delivery position in a target location, in which the proximal side is disposed inside a blood vessel and the distal side is disposed in an aneurism formed in a wall of the blood vessel; the frame configured to move between a collapsed state in which the proximal and distal sides are compressed for delivery and an expanded state in which the frame expands to engage the blood vessel; wherein the distal side includes at least two winged elements; each winged element configured to be inserted into the aneurism and adapted to interact with the inner wall of the body vessel in order to secure the closure clip proximate to the aneurysm; wherein the proximal side includes a seal element and a guide bar; the seal element adapted to separate the aneurysm from the rest of the body vessel and to reduce the pressure exerted on the walls of the body vessel proximate to the aneurysm; the guide bar configured to be in communication with a guide wire during delivery of the closure clip to the aneurysm, a connector, retention member, or wire, forming two connector points on laterally opposite sides of the seal element, wherein in each of the two connector points, the seal element and the at least two winged elements are all joined together, and wherein the at least two winged elements and the seal element are all separate from one another outside of the connector points.
