CA 2750222

An expandable substantially spherical structure for deployment in a blood vessel or other body lumen, comprising: an open frame formed out of a closed loop of filament and configured to assume (i) a collapsed configuration in the form of a substantially two-dimensional elongated loop structure so as to facilitate insertion into the blood vessel or other body lumen, and (ii) an expanded configuration in the form of a three-dimensional substantially spherical structure so as to facilitate retention at a site in the blood vessel or other body lumen; and a flow-restricting face carried by the open frame; wherein the open frame is configured so as to permit substantially normal flow therethrough when the open frame is in its expanded configuration, and further wherein the flow-restricting face is configured so as to restrict flow therethrough.

L'invention porte sur une structure sensiblement sphérique extensible pour un déploiement dans un vaisseau sanguin ou d'autres lumières corporelles, comprenant : une armature ouverte formée en dehors d'une boucle fermée de filament et configurée pour prendre (i) une configuration aplatie sous la forme d'une structure à boucle allongée sensiblement bidimensionnelle, de façon à faciliter l'introduction dans le vaisseau sanguin ou d'autres lumières corporelles, et (ii) une configuration déployée sous la forme d'une structure tridimensionnelle sensiblement sphérique de façon à faciliter la rétention dans un site d'un vaisseau sanguin ou d'une autre lumière corporelle ; et une face de restriction de l'écoulement portée par l'armature ouverte ; l'armature ouverte étant configurée de façon à permettre un écoulement sensiblement normal à travers celle-ci lorsque l'armature ouverte est dans sa configuration déployée, et la face de restriction d'écoulement étant en outre configurée de façon à limiter l'écoulement à travers celle-ci.
