12. A method for occluding a blood vessel, comprising:
-
conducting a medical implant having an elastic blood impermeable membrane in a compressed state and at least one scaffolding element to an intravascular target area in a blood vessel; placing said medical implant in said intravascular target area; and occluding said vessel by spreading said elastic blood impermeable membrane from said compressed state to an uncompressed state in said intravascular target area; wherein said at least one scaffolding element is sized and shaped to be attached to at least one blood clot formed at said intravascular target area so that said at least one blood clot being firmly attached to said medical implant. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
