Abstract:
1. A medical occluding device for restricting fluid flow at a vascular site in a patient, comprising: a self-expanding, closed-circumference support frame formed as a unitary frame structure and in which the closed circumference defines an interior opening through the support frame, the support frame configured for expansion at the vascular site for deploying the medical occluding device at the vascular site, the support frame being movable between a folded configuration and a generally flat configuration by self-expansion from said folded configuration to said generally flat configuration; and a flexible sheet material attached to the support frame for extending flatly across the support frame when the support frame is in said generally flat configuration, the flexible sheet material comprising a remodelable extracellular matrix sheet material harvested from a collagenous tissue source and effective upon implantation to become remodeled and replaced by native tissue of the patient, wherein the medical occluding device has only one self-expanding, closed-circumference support frame formed as a unitary frame structure and in which the closed circumference defines an interior opening through the support frame.
