Abstract
Embodiments of an endovascular device and of methods for treating an aneurysm therewith are described. In certain embodiments, an endovascular device includes a distal assembly coupled to a flow reducing member. In some embodiments, the distal assembly is composed of multiple engagement members that, when deployed within an aneurysm, engage an inner surface of the aneurysm. In certain embodiments, the engagements members are substantially parallel to a central axis of the distal assembly in a first position and shift away from the central axis to a second position, and the distal ends of some engagement members are substantially curled when in the second position. In certain embodiments, the flow-reducing member reduces blood flow from a blood vessel into the aneurysm. In certain embodiments the flow reducing member includes a membrane, which can include a porous section.
