Abstract
Methods of using flow reducing implants for treatment of abnormal growths in the body are described. In embodiments of the claimed subject matter, a source blood vessel feeding the abnormal growth is first determined, and a flow reducing implant is then inserted into the source blood vessel to reduce the blood flow through the source blood vessel. The flow reducing implant includes at least one flared section for contacting a blood vessel wall, and at least one narrowed section defining a flow passage. Anchor tabs that lie generally in a plane of the flared section may also be employed.
