Abstract
Thin film metallic devices implantable within a human subject for occlusion of an aneurysm or blood vessel are provided. The devices include an embolization element that is moveable between a collapsed configuration for delivery to a deployed configuration within the body. The embolization device plugs the aneurysm or blood vessel preventing blood from flowing into or out of the aneurysm or other defective or diseased location of the blood vessel. The embolization element may be either self-supporting or supported by a strut structure. The occlusion device also includes an anchor element for anchoring the occlusion device and aiding in maintaining the embolization element in place. The anchor element is connected to the embolization device via a connector element.
