Patent ID: 6994717

Claim:
A method for occluding an occlusion site, comprising: providing an occluder including a pair of clips configured in spaced relation, a plurality of elastically deformable members secured by said clips and extending in arcuate conformation therebetween such that one or more of said members do not cross any other member, and a jacket covering the entire portion of said plurality of elastically deformable members extending in arcuate conformation; providing a delivery system including a guiding catheter configured to receive said occluder and a pushing catheter configured to engage at least one of said pair of clips; positioning said guiding catheter adjacent said occlusion site, wherein said occluder is positioned within said guiding catheter; engaging at least one of said pair of clips with said pushing catheter; and sliding said occluder relative to said guiding catheter with said pushing catheter so as to deploy said occluder from said guiding catheter so as to recover said arcuate conformation to occlude said occlusion site.
