In each of these embodiments, the shape memory material of the occluding member should have a transition temperature sufficiently above the normal variation of human body temperature to prevent accidental activation which might prematurely collapse the occluding member. On the other hand, the transition temperature should be high enough so that thermal activation of the occluding member does not cause undesirable thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. The shape memory-material is preferably a shape memory, nickel-titanium alloy such as NITINOL and preferably has a transition temperature of between about 43° C. to about 70° C.
