A method and device to correctly orient an intracranial occlusion device, such as a stent having differential porosity, with respect to desired areas of greater or lesser blood flow (e.g., branch vessels and aneurysms, respectively), said device being particularly adapted for use in treating aneurysms in intracranial or other tortuous vasculature. An intravascular device comprising a delivery catheter having a hub and angular lumen capable of constraining a pusher wire within a packaging catheter to deploy said stent in an orientation wherein the area of least porosity abuts the aneurysm, and area of maximal porosity permits blood flow to a branch or other vessel. A method of using same.
