Devices that can be delivered into a vascular system to divert flow are disclose herein. According to some embodiments, devices are provided for treating aneurysms by diverting flow. An expandable device can comprise, for example, first a plurality of strut regions and a plurality of bridge regions. Each of the bridge regions may connect a first strut of a first strut region to a second strut of a second strut region. The first strut region may comprise a first plurality of apices defining a first circumferential plane, and the second strut region may comprise a second plurality of apices defining a second circumferential plane. A first curved segment of the bridge may extend across the first circumferential plane towards the first strut region, and a second curved segment of the bridge may extend across the second circumferential plane towards the second strut region.

Meshes, devices and methods for treating vascular defects

Devices that can be delivered into a vascular system to divert flow are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, devices are provided for treating aneurysms b diverting flow. An expandable device can comprise, for example, a plurality of strut regions and a plurality of bridge regions. Each of the strut regions may extend circumferentially about the expandable device and include a plurality of struts. Each of the plurality of bridge regions may be attached to and extend between two of the strut regions and comprise a plurality first bridges and second bridges that intersect one another and are movable relative to one another at their intersections.

Thin film mesh hybrid for treating vascular defects

Devices that can be delivered into a vascular system to divert flow are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, devices are provided for treating aneurysms by diverting flow. A flow-diverting device can comprise, for example, a frame and mesh immovably attached to and extending over a portion of the frame. The mesh can include a plurality of pores that are sized to inhibit the flow of blood through the frame into an aneurysm to a degree sufficient to lead to thrombosis and healing of the aneurysm when the device is positioned in a blood vessel and adjacent to the aneurysm.

Thin wall constructions for vascular flow diversion

Meshes and devices for treating vascular defects

Various embodiments for a composite endovascular device (and variations thereof) that include an inner polymer structure and an outer thin-film shape memory structure. The inner polymer structure extends from a distal end to a proximal end along a longitudinal axis. The outer thin-film shape-memory structure has an inner thin-film surface coupled to the outer surface of the inner polymer structure from the distal end to the proximal end with a retrieval member at the proximal end to allow for the prosthesis to be retrieved after placement in a body vessel. The inner polymeric structure can be blended with a suitable bio-active agent or the agent can be loaded into the pores. The device can be permanent or temporary by virtue of being retrievable.

Thin-film composite retrievable endovascular devices and method of use

Implantable materials having engineered surfaces and method of making same comprising geometric features on at least one surface of the material having at least one of chemical, physiochemical and electrochemical activity different than regions of the at least one surface without the features.
