An occlusion device with particular utility in occlusion of left atrial appendages is described. The occlusion device embodiments utilize an inflatable balloon or expandable element used to occlude the treatment site.

Occlusion systems

System and methods of delivering adhesive material are described for occluding target locations within a patient. The systems include a catheter configured to deliver adhesive to a target location and one or more of a light source to harden the adhesive, a retention structure to contain the adhesive prior to curing, a balloon to occupy a target location, and an open cell foam plug to occupy a target location.

Adhesive occlusion systems

This invention is directed to a multi-layer catheter for navigation to remote locations within the body, comprising a liner layer, a braid layer and an outer jacket. The catheter provides a high degree of flexibility needed to traverse the vasculature and a high degree of strength needed to withstand the high pressures associated with catheter-delivery of viscous embolizing compositions.
