Abstract
An aneurysm occlusion system includes devices positionable within a cerebral blood vessel covering a neck of an aneurysm in the blood vessel. A component device includes an expandable tubular body, an expandable anchor, and a link connecting the body to the anchor. One or more devices deployed using a method according to the invention includes a novel feature that guarantees that the distal high coverage segment aligns with the neck of the aneurysm. A single device or multiple devices, used in conjunction with an embolic material or coil, may be combined to form a system according to the invention. When positioned and deployed strategically either alone or with a second device utilizing a method according to the invention, the system has a high coverage region covering a neck of an aneurysm, and a gap between the system and healthy vessel. The system and method prevent blood flow into an aneurysm while permitting blood flow through healthy vessel.
