1. A method of treating an aneurysm at a junction of a bifurcation having an afferent vessel and efferent vessels, the aneurysm having a neck and a fundus, the method comprising:

  • advancing a catheter proximate to the junction of the bifurcation, the catheter at least partially containing a device in a compressed state, the device comprising a plurality of filaments extending between the proximal end and the distal end and coupled at the proximal end and at the distal end;

    deploying the device from at least partially inside the catheter to outside the catheter at the junction of the bifurcation, wherein, during deployment, the device self-expands to conform in an expanded state to the junction of the bifurcation and wherein, after deployment and while the proximal end of the device is connected to the catheter, the device acts as a scaffolding to inhibit herniation of objects out of the neck of the aneurysm and permits perfusion of fluid to the efferent vessels;

    retracting the device at least partially back inside the catheter; and

    withdrawing the catheter and the device.
