Abstract
This is an implantable medical device assembly for use in surgical procedures. It is most preferably an implantable structure having stenting properties but only partially coated with or partially associated with a material causing a localized angiogenic response. One variation of is an artificial occlusion kit having the inventive implantable stenting structure situatable and vaso-occlusive devices. The implantable stenting structure is typically situated so to prevent migration of artificial occlusion devices or implants from an occlusion site, such as an aneurysm, and into an adjacent body space, such as a blood vessel.
