Abstract:
An intrasaccular flow diverter includes a wire structure (e.g., a braided wire or a laser-cut hypotube), a thin-film mesh placed over the wire structure, and crimps fixing the thin-film mesh to the wire structure at each crimp. The wire structure and the thin-film mesh between adjacent crimps are expanded radially to form thin-film covered spheroid structures. When deployed in an aneurysm, the spheroid structures may volumetrically fill the aneurysm sac. An intrasaccular flow diverter with an umbrella structure includes a wire structure with a plurality of crimps along the wire structure, and a thin-film covered umbrella structure at one end of the wire structure. The wire structure between adjacent crimps is expanded radially to form a spheroid structure. When deployed in an aneurysm, the thin-film covered umbrella structure may cover the aneurysm neck.
