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 1):
An implantable device for embolizing a blood vessel having an endoluminal wall defining a vascular lumen, the implantable device comprising:\n a mesh structure configured to radially expand from (a) a compressed delivery state to (b) an expanded deployed state when the implantable device is positioned at a target site in the vascular lumen of the blood vessel; wherein, in the delivery state, the mesh structure has a generally cylindrical shape; and wherein, in the expanded state\n the mesh structure includes a plurality of radially extending regions, \n the radially extending regions are porous and configured to disrupt blood flow through the implantable device and the vascular lumen, \n individual ones of the radially extending regions include an apex configured to engage the endoluminal wall of the blood vessel, \n each of the apices has a thickness along a longitudinal axis of the occlusion device, and \n the combined thicknesses of the apices is less than about 50% of a total length of the mesh structure along the longitudinal axis.
