Abstract
A medical device is provided in which one or both ends of the device encourage the formation of tissue across substantially the entire area of the respective end that is exposed to the blood flow for reducing the risk of a thrombotic embolism. The medical device further includes stabilizing wires configured to engage tissue at a target site when the medical device is in an expanded configuration and to at least partially retract into the medical device when the medical device is in a collapsed configuration.
