Abstract:
1. A device for providing a coil to an aneurysm, the device comprising: an access element having an access element proximal end, an access element distal end, and an access element body extending from said access element proximal end to said access element distal end, said access element body having an access lumen therethrough for providing a treatment material to a vessel said access element distal end biased to assume a pre-shaped configuration at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the device; an occlusion element for occluding an ostium of the aneurysm during delivery of the coil, said occlusion element comprising: a distal connecting element positioned distal to said access element distal end and substantially aligned with said access element; and a guidewire removably positioned through said access element and said distal connecting element such that said access element distal end is forcibly aligned with said longitudinal axis when said guidewire is positioned through said distal connecting element, and said access element distal end assumes its pre-shaped angle upon removal of said guidewire from said distal connecting element.
