Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for forming and deploying an intrasaccular occlusion system which includes: a proximal neck bridge which expands within an aneurysm sac to span the aneurysm neck; a distal net or mesh which is expanded within the aneurysm sac between the proximal neck bridge and the aneurysm dome; and embolic members which are inserted into the net or mesh, wherein insertion of the embolic members expands the net or mesh.

Claims (15)

1 . An intrasaccular device or system for occluding a cerebral aneurysm comprising:

a guidewire which is inserted into an aneurysm sac;

at least one catheter which is advanced along the guidewire into the aneurysm sac;

a proximal neck bridge which is delivered through the at least one catheter, expands within an aneurysm sac, and spans the aneurysm neck;

a distal net or mesh which is delivered through the at least one catheter and expanded within the aneurysm sac between the proximal neck bridge and the aneurysm dome; and

embolic members which are inserted into the net or mesh, wherein insertion of the embolic members expands the net or mesh.

2 . An intrasaccular device or system for occluding a cerebral aneurysm comprising:

a distal flexible net or mesh, wherein the net or mesh is inserted into an aneurysm sac, wherein the net or mesh is expanded in the aneurysm sac by insertion of embolic members into the net or mesh, and wherein there is a first portion of a connection mechanism on the net or mesh; and

a proximal neck bridge, wherein the neck bridge is inserted into the aneurysm sac, wherein the neck bridge is between the net or mesh and the aneurysm neck, wherein the neck bridge expands within the aneurysm sac to span the aneurysm neck, wherein the neck bridge has a proximal hole or opening through which embolic members are inserted into the net or mesh, wherein there is a second portion of the connection mechanism on the neck bridge, and wherein the first portion of the connection mechanism and the second portion of the connection mechanism fit, snap, clip, latch, plug, stick, adhere, or interlock together, thereby connecting the net or mesh and the neck bridge to each other.

3 . A method for intrasaccular occlusion of a cerebral aneurysm comprising:

inserting a guidewire into an aneurysm sac;

inserting a catheter into the aneurysm sac;

inserting a distal flexible net or mesh through the catheter into the aneurysm sac;

inserting a proximal neck bridge through the catheter into the aneurysm sac between the net or mesh and the aneurysm neck, wherein the neck bridge expands in the aneurysm sac after it exits the catheter;

inserting embolic members through the catheter into the net or mesh, wherein accumulation of the embolic members in the net or mesh expands the net or mesh; and withdrawing the catheter from the net or mesh and the neck bridge.
