Abstract:
1. An intraluminal occlusion device having a longitudinal axis, comprising: a tubular frame having a proximal end defining a proximal opening, a distal end defining a distal opening, and a circumferential surface extending from the proximal end to the distal end, the frame comprising two or more longitudinal struts and a plurality of interconnecting struts extending between adjacent longitudinal struts, each of the longitudinal struts having a proximal concave portion and a distal convex portion disposed within a plane that includes said longitudinal axis; and a covering extending over the proximal opening and attached to the tubular frame; wherein a first longitudinal strut has a first proximal concave portion and a first distal convex portion; wherein the first proximal concave portion has a first longitudinal midpoint and the first distal convex portion has a second longitudinal midpoint; wherein a first transverse axis orthogonally intersects the first proximal concave portion at the first longitudinal midpoint; wherein a second transverse axis orthogonally intersects the first distal convex portion at the second longitudinal midpoint; wherein the first transverse axis orthogonally intersects said longitudinal axis of said intraluminal occlusion device; and wherein the second transverse axis non-orthogonally intersects said longitudinal axis of said intraluminal occlusion device.
