1. A device for implantation in the vasculature, comprising:
- an elongate intraluminal element implantable in a portion of a vascular lumen, said elongate intraluminal element occupying a volume of said vascular lumen without reducing the blood flow through said vascular lumen and without exerting appreciable mechanical action on a vascular wall, said element being associated with a means of fixing into the vascular lumen, said element being solid with a smooth surface and with a constant diameter and cross section, with a cylindrical, oval, square, star-shaped or flower-shaped cross section.

20. A device for implantation in a vasculature, comprising:
-
a solid elongated member having first and second ends; and
an anchoring device connected to the second end of the elongate member, the anchoring device comprising first and second arms elastically connected to one another at a first elbow, an end of the first arm opposite the elbow being elastically connected to the second end of the elongate member so that while in a relaxed position a smallest included angle between the first arm and the elongate member is obtuse. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
