An aneurysm implant support device for treating an aneurysm at a bifurcation can include a body having a tubular lattice extending from an upper body section, through a mid body section, and to a lower body section. The upper body section can be sized, shaped, and otherwise configured for implantation in an aneurysm sac. The upper body section can include support elements positioned at the aneurysm neck which inhibit the embolic implants from exiting the aneurysm. The mid body section can have two large cell openings substantially larger than the cell openings over a majority of the tubular lattice. The two large cell openings can be placed across passageways from a stem blood vessel to branch blood vessels of the bifurcation. The lower body section can be sized, shaped, and otherwise configured to anchor within the stem blood vessel.

This intrasacular aneurysm occlusion device includes a neck bridge with a closeable opening through which embolic material is inserted into an aneurysm sac. After the neck bridge has been expanded within the aneurysm sac, a catheter is inserted through the opening and embolic material is delivered through the catheter into the aneurysm sac. After the aneurysm sac has been filled with embolic material, the catheter is then withdrawn and the opening is closed so that embolic material does not escape out of the aneurysm sac.

An embodiment includes a process for treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) endoleak with a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam device. First, a bifurcated stent graft is placed within the aneurysm while a micro guidewire is positioned within the aneurysm for future catheter access. Second, after placing the iliac graft extension, a catheter is introduced over wire to deliver embolic foams. Third, embolic foams expand and conform to the aneurysm wall. Fourth, embolic foams create a stable thrombus to prevent endoleak formation by isolating peripheral vessels from the aneurysm volume.

A method for treating an aneurysm can include inserting a medical device partially in a first artery and partially in a third artery. The device can be expanded radially outwardly from a first, position to a second position to engage an inner surface of the first artery and an inner surface of the third artery, so as to maintain a fluid pathway through said arteries. Further, the device can be positioned such that, when the device is in the second position, a porous membrane of the device is located at a neck of the aneurysm.

Described herein are flexible implantable devices or stents that can conform to the shape of vessels of the neurovasculature. In some embodiments, the devices can direct blood flow within a vessel away from an aneurysm or limit blood flow to the aneurysm. In some embodiments, a vascular remodeling device includes a first section and a protruding section. During deployment, the device expands from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration. The first section anchors the device in an afferent vessel and/or in an efferent vessel of a bifurcation and the protruding section is positioned in the junction of the bifurcation having an aneurysm and across the neck of the aneurysm or at least partially within the aneurysm.

An intracranial stent includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a tubular sidewall extending there between and a patch covering at least a portion of the sidewall; wherein the patch is capable of diverting blood flow past the neck of an intracranial aneurysm. The patch may be made of a photon-activatable material or a tightly woven metal material with a density greater than a density of the sidewall itself.

An apparatus for treating an aneurysm in a blood vessel includes a wire to be advanced within a tube and an occlusion element disposed on the wire. The occlusion element includes a cover and an inner anchoring member. The occlusion element is configured to fit within the tube and slide out of an opening at distal end of the tube in response to movement of the wire. The cover is configured to expand to an expanded configuration when advanced into the aneurysm, wherein the cover comprises a diameter that is greater than the diameter of a neck portion of the aneurysm and is configured such that a first portion of the cover contacts an interior surface of the aneurysm and a second portion covers the neck portion of the aneurysm. The inner anchoring member extends from the cover portion and is configured to contact the interior surface of the aneurysm.

A vaso-occlusive device is disclosed herein having a delivery configuration when restrained within a delivery catheter and a deployed configuration when released from the delivery catheter into an aneurysmal sac. The vaso-occlusive device includes a tubular structure and an elongated embolic element. The tubular structure is configured to form at least two nested sacks within the aneurysm, thereby creating a multi-layer scaffolding within the aneurysm sac. The elongate embolic element is coupled to proximal end of the tubular structure and is configured to fill an interior region of the multi-layer scaffolding when deployed into the aneurysmal sac. At least one of the two nested sacks can be inverted upon deployment. The tubular structure can include a tubular braided mesh.

An endovascular self-expanding stent system that can include a braid with a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen formed therebetween. The braid can be formed from one or more wires woven to comprise interstices. A first expansion ring can be connected to the proximal end of the braid. A second expansion ring can be connected to the distal end of the braid. Each expansion ring can include a frame that imparts an outwardly expanding radial force to the braid. The frame can include a plurality of elongate members interconnected by one or more intersections.

A system, for deployment in a blood vessel includes an anchor device having a stent and a suture loop that joins distal end portions of the stent. A first filling structure and a second filling structure are at least partially insertable through the suture loop to an area within the stent when the stent is in an expanded state. The anchor device has a size such that at least a portion of the first filling structure and at least a portion of the second filling structure protrude through openings in the anchor device to form a seal against a wall of the blood vessel when the first filling structure and the second filling structure have been at least partially inserted through the suture loop and have been filled. A method allows for repairing one or more blood vessels using the system.
