Patent ID: 8262692

Claim:
An endovascular device, for treating an aneurysm of a body vessel, comprising: a distal assembly, movable from a first position to a second position when the distal assembly is at least partially in an aneurysm; and a first flow-reducing member, coupled to the distal assembly, that reduces blood flow from the body vessel into the aneurysm when the distal assembly is in the second position; wherein the distal assembly comprises a plurality of engagement members, each of which extends, from a proximal portion to a distal portion, away from the flow-reducing member; wherein, when the distal assembly is in the first position, each of the plurality of engagement members is substantially parallel to a central axis of the distal assembly; wherein, when the distal assembly changes from the first to the second position, the distal portion of each of the plurality of engagement members moves away from the central axis, such that the distal portions of each of the plurality of engagement members: substantially curl; move closer to the first flow-reducing member; and engage an inner surface of the aneurysm; the device further comprising a second flow-reducing member, coupled to the first flow-reducing member or to the distal assembly, that reduces blood flow from the body vessel into the aneurysm when the distal assembly is in the second position; the device further comprising a linking member that couples the second flow-reducing member to the first flow-reducing member or to the distal assembly; wherein the second flow-reducing member comprises a plug, and wherein, when the distal assembly is in the second position, the plug is configured to reside substantially within a neck of the aneurysm and substantially inhibits blood flow through the neck of the aneurysm.
