Abstract:
A vascular occlusion device includes a braided filament mesh structure defining a longitudinal axis. The mesh structure has a relaxed configuration in which it has an axial array of radially-extending occlusion regions, each of which has a proximal side and a distal side meeting at a peripheral edge, the sides of each occlusion region forming a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis. Each occlusion region is axially separated from the adjacent occlusion region by a reduced-diameter connecting region. The mesh structure is radially compressible to a compressed state in which it is deployed intravascularly to a target site through a catheter. Upon deployment, the device radially expands to a constrained configuration in which the peripheral edges of the occlusion regions engage the vascular wall, and the sides of the occlusion regions form a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis that is smaller than the first angle.

Claim (Index 17):
A device for occluding a bodily lumen defined by an endoluminal wall, the device comprising:\n a mesh structure having a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the mesh structure comprising a braided filamentous mesh extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the mesh comprising a plurality of braided filaments, each of which terminates at the proximal end in a proximal hub and at the distal end in a distal hub; wherein the mesh structure has a radially compressed configuration and a relaxed configuration; wherein the mesh structure in the radially compressed configuration has an outside diameter not exceeding 0.7 mm for delivery to a target site in the bodily lumen; and wherein the mesh structure in the relaxed configuration has a plurality of radially extending occlusion regions, wherein each radially extending occlusion region has a proximal side and a distal side that meet at a peripheral edge, wherein at least one of the proximal side and the distal side forms a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the mesh structure when in the relaxed configuration, and a second angle less than the first angle when the mesh structure is radially constrained by contact between the peripheral edge and the endoluminal wall.
