Abstract
A device for expansion within a blood vessel having a wall defining a lumen in the body. A first elongate tubular member has proximal and distal extremities and has a longitudinal axis. An expansile member is carried by the distal extremity of the first elongate tubular member is and movable between contracted and expanded positions. The expansile member has a predetermined configuration in the expanded position. A deformable membrane covers the expansile member, and is sized so as to be capable of overlying and underlying the expansile member in the expanded position. A deployment mechanism is carried by the proximal extremity of the first elongate tubular member and is adapted to be operated by the human hand for controlling movement of the expansile member between the contracted and expanded positions. A deployment mechanism includes a push-pull wire with proximal and distal extremities and extends through the first elongate tubular member and is coupled to the expansile member.
