Vascular implant

1 . A vascular implant, comprising:

a) an implant body having an oval shaped side wall surrounding a bore wherein said side wall includes opposed curved end portions, an outer surface and an inner surface surrounding said bore;

b) first and second filter openings on opposing ends of said bore;

c) wherein said body is sized and shaped to change a shape of a patient's vascular system at a vessel implant site and reduce an area available for emboli to pass; and

d) wherein, after placement in the vessel implant site, the body is configured to maintain a shape thereof until the vascular implant is retrieved, reabsorbed, or breaks.

2 . The vascular implant of claim 1 wherein said implant body is 3D printed of a polymeric material.

3 . The vascular implant of claim 1 wherein the implant body is of a bioresorbable material.

4 . The vascular implant of claim 1 further comprising one or more anchors on said side wall outer surface.

5 . The vascular implant of claim 4 wherein said anchors are on said curved end portions.

6 . The vascular implant of claim 4 wherein said anchors include proximal and distal anchors.

7 . The vascular implant of claim 4 wherein there are at least a pair of said anchors on each said curved end portion.

8 . The vascular implant of claim 5 wherein said implant body has proximal and distal edges, at least one said anchor next to said proximal edge and at least one said anchor next to said distal edge.

9 . The vascular implant of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said side wall is flat.

10 . The vascular implant of claim 1 wherein said side wall has elongated or planar sections that each connect to a said curved end position.

11 . A vascular implant, comprising:

a) an implant body having an oval shaped side wall surrounding a bore wherein said side wall has opposed curved end portions, an outer surface and an inner surface surrounding said bore;

b) wherein said body is sized and shaped to change a shape of a patient's vascular system at a vessel implant site in order to reduce an area available for emboli to pass; and

c) wherein said implant body is rigid enough to change the shape of the vessel where said implant body is placed; and

d) wherein, after placement in the vessel implant site, the body is configured to maintain a shape thereof until the vascular implant is retrieved, reabsorbed, or breaks.

12 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein said implant body is 3D printed of a polymeric material.

13 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein the implant body is of a bioresorbable material.

14 . The vascular implant of claim 11 further comprising one or more anchors on said side wall outer surface.

15 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein said anchors are on said curved end portions.

16 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein the implant body is of a bioresorbable polymeric material.

17 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein said side wall has elongated or planar sections that each connect to a said curved end position.

18 . The vascular implant of claim 11 wherein said side wall has one or more corrugated portions.

19 . The vascular implant of claim 18 wherein there are two (2) opposed corrugated portions.

20 . A vascular implant, comprising:

a) an elongated implant body having a length and a width, a wall that includes first and second opposed curved end portions and opposed elongated wall sections that each connect to said first and second opposed curved end portions, said length greater than said width, said wall having an inner surface surrounding an open ended bore;

b) first and second filter openings on opposing ends of said bore; and

c) wherein said body is sized and shaped to change a shape of a patient's vascular system at a vessel implant site; and

d) wherein the body is configured to prevent an emboli from passing through the vessel implant site at least until emboli risk has subsided.
