Abstract
A device for dilating either a vessel within a body or a structure positioned within the vessel is designed so that it does not occlude or substantially hinder the flow of blood through the vessel, thereby decreasing the windsock effect in blood vessels by maintaining fluid flow through the device during dilation. The device includes a plurality of wires that can be expanded from a first position wherein the device can be moved into or retrieved from the vessel, to a second position wherein it dilates the vessel or structure. When dilated, blood or other bodily fluid passes through the openings between the wires rather than being blocked.
