Abstract
An intravascular device () includes an elongated shaft () extending in an axial direction and an expandable braided arrangement () of a plurality of filaments. The braided arrangement has a proximal end, a distal end (), and an intermediate region therebetween. The intravascular device can include an endpiece (-) located proximate an intersection of the elongated shaft and the braided arrangement. The endpiece can be configured to orient the filaments in a substantially single file continuum. At a junction with the endpiece, the filaments can initially extend in a substantially parallel, non-crossing manner, and as the filaments extend toward the intermediate region, the initially extending non-crossing filaments can cross each other.
