1. An intravascular flow modifier and vascular reinforcement device to be used in the intravascular treatment of blood vessels, comprising:

  • an elongate section of resilient material having a pre-deployed essentially flat configuration and a deployed configuration of a generally cylindrical device in which the two free ends are attached to deployment means at the distal end of a pusher for deploying said device in the vasculature of a patient, are parallel to one another and extend distally from a proximal end of the device, thereafter transitioning at a first predetermined point to a first essentially circumferential loop for a distance less than half of the circumference of the device, thereafter transitioning to a longitudinal section for a predetermined length to a second predetermined point, thereafter transitioning to a second essentially circumferential loop and proceeding similarly to the distal end of the device.
