The invention concerns a vascular occlusion device. The invention is characterized in that it comprises two expandable members () enabling it to be fixed by pressure on two portions of the vessel; it further comprises an intermediate part () deformable in twisting to an adjustable degree depending on the relative position of the two expandable members (); thereby producing a maximum constricted region () defining the extent of occlusion. The invention also concerns a apparatus for setting and a method for using such a device.
