Abstract

See full text

Implantable embolic devices for occluding the lumens of blood vessels and other anatomical conduits comprising a generally tubular, radially expandable frame and a flexible occluder member attached to the frame. The flexible occluder member may be of generally tubular form having a closed end and an open end. The open end is attached to the frame and the closed end serves to substantially block the flow of blood through the lumen of the anatomical conduit. In some embodiments a small or self-sealing opening is formed in the closed end of the flexible occluder member such that a guidewire, catheter or other device may pass through such opening during delivery of the device and/or at some later time following implantation of the device.
