Abstract
An occlusion device or plug having a proximal plug section and a distal plug section. The plug sections may each be shifted between an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration at the deployment site to occlude the deployment site. A tubular member such as a silicone tube may be used to form an occlusion device or plug shiftable or expandable into a desired configuration. An intermediate section between a proximal plug section and a distal plug section may be configured to be manipulated at least to shift at least one of the plug sections from an expanded configuration to an unexpanded configuration. A pair of stents may be coupled together via an intermediate section in such manner such that manipulation of the intermediate section causes at least one of the stents to shift from an expanded configuration to an unexpanded configuration.
