Abstract
A method and device for intravascular treatment of various vascular and intravascular issues, such as aneurysms, is disclosed. The device generally includes a multiple member, bead strand or device that includes a plurality of members interconnected with one another in a substantially flexible manner. The device may be positioned through a catheter or micro-catheter substantially intravascularly to occlude or embolize an aneurysm to substantially eliminate the possibility of perforation or rupture of the aneurysm.
