Abstract

Embodiments of the invention described herein include an aneurysm occlusion assist device comprising a main body effective for providing support to a blood vessel, defining an open volume sized to permit substantially unimpeded blood flow when the main body is implanted in a bifurcated aneurysm.

Claims

1. An aneurysm occlusion assist device comprising a main body effective for providing support to a blood vessel, defining an open volume sized to permit substantially unimpeded blood flow when the main body is implanted in a bifurcated aneurysm.

2. The aneurysm occlusion assist device of claim 1 wherein the main body comprises a braid configuration.

3. The aneurysm occlusion assist device of claim 1 wherein the main body comprises a coil configuration.

4. The aneurysm occlusion assist device of claim 1, further comprising a main body component positioned adjacent to the main body, the main body component effective for providing structural support to the aneurysm.

5. The aneurysm occlusion assist device of claim 1, further comprising a microcatheter, wherein the main body is built into the microcatheter.
