Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medical device is provided. The medical device includes a vessel-engaging member attached to a distal end of a delivery wire via a connection mechanism. The vessel-engaging member includes a plurality of rows and a plurality of bridges positioned between each adjacent row, each of the bridges connecting a vertex of a first row with a corresponding vertex of a second row. The vessel-engaging member further includes first and second tapered sections coupled to the connection mechanism, each of the tapered sections projecting from a proximal row and tapering in a direction from the proximal row toward the connection mechanism, each of the tapered sections having a length measured along a longitudinal axis, wherein the length of the first tapered section is less than the length of the second tapered section.
First claim
