Abstract

Implantable aneurysm-sac treatment devices include an implantable coil body configured and sized to reside in a sac of an aneurysm. The body has an inductance and capacitance. The capacitance is selected so that the coil resonates at a Larmor frequency of a predefined magnetic field strength.

Claims (4)

1. A first implantable device comprising: an implantable coil body configured and sized to reside in a sac of an aneurysm, wherein the implantable coil body has an inductance and capacitance, and wherein the capacitance is selected so that the implantable coil body resonates at a Larmor frequency of a predefined magnetic field strength in combination with a second implantable aneurysm-sac treatment device, the second device comprising a respective second implantable coil body configured and sized to reside in a sac of an aneurysm, wherein the second implantable coil body has an inductance and capacitance, and wherein the capacitance is selected so that the coil resonates at a Larmor frequency of a predefined magnetic field strength that is different from that of the first device.

2. An implantable device according to claim 1 , wherein the first device resonates at 1.5 T and the second device resonates at one of the following: 2.0 T, 3.0 T, 6.0 T or 9.0 T.

3. An implantable device comprising: an implantable coil body configured and sized to reside in a sac of an aneurysm, wherein the implantable coil body has an inductance and capacitance, and wherein the capacitance is selected so that the implantable coil body resonates at a Larmor frequency of a predefined magnetic field strength, further comprising: a plurality of microcoils, at least two of which are configured with a different capacitance that is selected for operation at different magnetic field strengths of high-field MRI systems.

4. The implantable device of claim 3 , wherein said device is useful for vascular occlusion.
