Abstract
The present disclosure provides, in certain aspects, unique products and methods for abrading or otherwise disrupting an interior surface of a bodily a vessel. In some forms, these products and methods further incorporate the use of one or more occluding members to be deployed in the bodily vessel in and/or around a disrupted vessel region. Abrasive endoluminal devices, in certain embodiments, exhibit a low-profile first condition for delivery into and/or through the vasculature. The device can then be transitioned to a second, expanded condition inside the vasculature for carrying out a desired abrasion. With these types of devices, the manner and design by which the device transitions from a first condition to a second condition can vary. Embodiments of such are disclosed herein.
